Hi,
I was just browsing this site HRFolks.com and found a good article about the Best Practises.
This article talks about the a Training process followed in Motorola. Hope this helps you. Read On...... :)
The quest for success in today’s global market demands a shared vision and close cooperation between Motorola, its customers and suppliers. To achieve this, products and services must be the finest in the world.
The Mission Statement of Motorola says : " To support Motorola’s key goals and initiatives by working with selected customers and suppliers to improve their performance through diagnostic evaluations, customized education and training programs and applications support which range from single interventions to full systems solutions for continuous performance improvement.
Motorola is a global leader in providing integrated communications solutions and embedded electronic solutions.
The early years
In 1928 Paul V. Galvin (1895-1959) and his brother Joseph E. Galvin (1899-1944) purchased the battery eliminator business of the bankrupt Stewart Storage Battery Company in Chicago. They incorporated the Galvin Manufacturing Corporation on September 25, 1928 starting off with five employees; the Companys first product was a battery eliminator. It enabled battery-operated home radios to operate on ordinary household current. As battery-operated radios became obsolete, so does the battery eliminator.
The first practical and affordable auto radio is produced by the Galvin Manufacturing Corporation. Auto radios were not available from automobile manufacturers, so the Galvin auto radio is sold and installed as an accessory by independent automotive distributors and dealers. Paul Galvin coined the name Motorola for the company's new products, linking the ideas of motion and radio.
Today

According to Jeff Oberlin, Director of Motorola University’s Department of Emerging Technologies and Human Resources Trends " The use of CD-ROM, Internet applications, wireless data and a host of other emerging technologies must be fully explored. Our intent is to find those situations where alternative training delivery is the best way to transfer information"
