Ahold had several business drivers that created a need for the company to decentralize many of its operations: A new focus on its core retail businesses in the United States and Europe, the continued roll-out of value repositioning programs, and the reduction of operating costs. Learning Management, however, was one aspect of the business that we wanted to provide to our business globally. With Plateau, we accomplish that goal while allowing the Operating Companies to manage their own learning programs within the LMS. Ahold also needed a consistent way to provide compliance training, and ensure that general employee training could be done within set timelines. The search began for a Learning Management solution (LMS) that would meet the needs of our unique businesses with over 50,000 associates.
