TEDS White Paper Focuses on Use of AND/OR Logic to Create Flexible Training Options

TEDS, Inc., originator of the only fully integrated Workforce Effectiveness suite addressing enterprise-wide talent management, today announced the release of its latest white paper entitled, ìUsing AND/OR Logic to Create Flexible Training Options.î

The document focuses on TEDSí rationale for, and application of, the common Boolean operators AND and OR to establish both structure and variety within learning paths. As developed by TEDS, AND/OR logic proves especially powerful when automating the management of diverse learning opportunities often associated with soft skills. One section of the white paper describes how a training administrator might use AND/OR logic to set up different learning paths, based on the same set of courses designed to meet a particular competency.

Steve Harris, Vice President of Consulting at TEDS, serves as the white paperís subject matter expert and calls attention to some of the functionalityís enterprise-wide benefits. ìWhen TEDS helps a customer set up AND/OR logic for curriculums and skills, the process often brings greater clarity to the definition of a particular requirement. That result is valuable in itself, but we have also seen a ripple effect emerge so that further clarity develops in other areas of the learning enterprise. In addition, the use of AND/OR logic can empower employees if the flexible training options give them appropriate freedom to more fully shape their professional and personal development.î

AND/OR logic has long been included in TEDS standard functionality, having first been implemented for a customer during a global deployment in 2000. Today AND/OR logic is available in two TEDS Workforce Effectiveness modules: TEDS Learning on Demand(TM)óthe companyís deeply integrated LMS--and TEDS RTC Power(TM) which automates and integrates employee Roles, Tasks and Competencies.
