Anyone can tick a box.
Can your people do the job?

Training usually lives in spreadsheets, slide decks and PDFs, wherever someone last saved them. Andrew Banks explains why that leaves nobody able to prove the training happened or trust the results, and the question that matters: can our people do the job?

The idea
in one line.

A pass mark shows someone sat the test. Capability is whether they can do the work, and whether you can prove it.

Ask this of
your own business.

Three questions for your next leadership meeting. If any answer is "not sure", that's the gap Andrew is describing.

01

If an auditor asked tomorrow, how long would it take to show who completed which training?

When records live in spreadsheets and PDFs, the answer is a document hunt.

02

When someone passes, what does the pass actually prove?

Passing a test and being able to do the job aren't the same thing.

03

Could you tell your board what your people can do now that they couldn't a year ago?

Completion rates report activity. Capability is what the business is paying for.

How Compono Develop answers those questions.

Compono Develop is a learning management system (LMS) that proves capability. It delivers and tracks training, and adds evidence of what each person can now do.

See how Compono Develop works 

1

Learning delivered in one place

Import SCORM courses, build your own or start from the ready-made library, and assign paths by role, team, site or cohort.

Answers question 01: every course, completion and certificate in one place.

2

Testing that's actually checked

Assessments, certificates and assessor sign-off for on-the-job tasks, so a pass has evidence behind it.

Answers question 02: each pass comes with the evidence behind it.

3

Capability you can report

See the capability held for each role, and take a report upstairs that says what people can now do.

Answers question 03: a capability report by role, ready to take upstairs.

See capability you can stand behind.

Bring the questions above. On a short video call we'll show you a capability report in Compono Develop and answer anything you ask. If we are not the right fit, we will say so.

In Andrew’s words

What Andrew is describing

  • Spreadsheets, PowerPoints, PDFs, wherever someone last saved them. Nobody planned it, it just grew
  • Nobody can prove the training happened, and nobody can trust the results
  • Passing a test and being capable are not the same thing
  • So the question that matters never gets asked: can our people do the job?

What Andrew says (full transcript)

Andrew Banks

Andrew BanksCo-founded Morgan & Banks and Talent2

Here's how most companies run training. Spreadsheets, PowerPoints, PDFs, wherever someone last saved them. Nobody planned it, it just grew.

It leaves you with two problems. Nobody can prove the training happened, and nobody can trust the results, because passing a test and being capable are not the same thing. So the question that matters never gets asked, "Can our people do the job?"

Compono answers it. Learning delivered and tracked in one place, testing that's actually checked. So when someone passes, it means something.

Five Australian state governments run their licensing on it. One of them saved $34 million in just two years.

Anyone can tick a box. Compono lets you stand behind it.

Common questions

Track completion, then add evidence of capability: assessments that are checked, assessor sign-off for on-the-job tasks, and the capability held for each role. Compono Develop keeps all of it in one learning management system (LMS), with records ready for audits.

Yes. Authoring tools, SCORM support and a course library, groups by role, team, site or cohort, assessments, certificates, recurring completions and real-time reporting. Develop then connects learning to the capability each role needs.

Yes. Recurring completions and recertification are automated, and every person carries a record with the dates auditors ask for, so an audit request takes minutes rather than a fortnight. Compono is ISO 27001 certified.

You measure everything. Except your people.

That's the series. Andrew's first video puts all three together: why most businesses measure everything except their people.
