      Initially, my brief included taking control of Gen Re's eLearning, and exploring ways of enhancing its reach and impact.

      The Sadara project is the biggest Petrochemical Plant ever built in a single phase. Working with the Curriculum Development and Certification department, we developed training programmes ensuring its safe and efficient operation.Coordinating with International Subject Matter and Career Development experts. Developing training materials to facilitate the running and smooth handover of the Sadara Petrochemicals Project. Working with external eLearning suppliers to procure suitable learning courses – specifying requirements and quality controlling the products. Specific achievements are:• Setting up and training the Digital Learning Team in the use of Instructional Design Software and Learning Design methodology. • Having seen the need for a new LMS, raising the issue to management level, obtaining the decision, and overseeing the implementation of the new system, including developing the training for all users.• Developed a modern ‘Look and feel’ for Sadara eLearning, including full design and writing guidelines to be used internally, or with external development partners.• Developed and implemented work processes for eLearning development across the organization. These specify how courses are requested, the development steps, and all interactions between the requestor, Subject Matter Experts and Digital Learning. In summary, there is now a Digital Learning Team at Sadara who are able to receive training requests from across the organization and design, build and deliver these requests as professional quality eLearning courses. Through the updated LMS, training coordinators are able to ‘own’ the courses and administer the delivery of the courses to their trainees.
