An update for your knowledge
Why the right training makes the difference for you and your team
A few years ago, a friend asked me a simple but eye-opening question: ‘What functions do you actually use on your sports watch?’. As a passionate runner, I had recently bought myself a modern sports watch, equipped with lots of technology and functions – in reality, however, I was only concerned with the basics such as time, kilometres and heart rate. To be honest, I was only aware of a fraction of the entire performance spectrum of this watch. For me, this was a key moment: it was only when I started to focus on the system that I realised the potential of my device and how I could use it even better and more individually for myself.
This principle can be applied to many areas, including software and IT systems. Technology is developing rapidly, but without in-depth knowledge, its benefits remain limited. Companies that establish learning as an integral part of their corporate culture will secure decisive advantages in the long term. The key to this is structured and practical training – and this is precisely where the cronetwork academy comes in.
Why life-long learning is essential
We live in a time in which knowledge is renewing itself faster than ever before. According to estimates, it doubles within a few years in many industries. This means that what is considered state-of-the-art today may already be outdated tomorrow. Those who do not continue their training not only lose efficiency, but also innovative strength and competitiveness. Continuous learning is therefore essential, especially in industry. Software solutions, production processes and digital technologies are developing at a rapid pace and offer new opportunities and possibilities. Companies need to ensure that their employees can keep pace with this and get the most out of it for themselves and their company. A strong learning culture not only ensures competent teams, but also increases employee satisfaction – because those who feel confident and comfortable in their tasks are more motivated and productive.
Flexible learning for individual development
The way people learn has changed. Traditional classroom training still has its place, but modern learning is more flexible, digital and individualised. Companies therefore need to offer different formats in order to optimally support different types of learners.
The cronetwork academy relies on a combination of:
- Live courses: direct exchange with experts, interactive exercises and discussions.
- eLearning modules: self-paced learning – when and where it suits you.
- Tutorials: Quick and targeted problem solutions for everyday work.
- eBooks and reference works: knowledge that is available at any time.
This diverse learning programme is designed to enable cronetwork users to build up and continuously expand their knowledge in the long term – adapted to the individual needs of the participants.
As a Premium user with the all-inclusive flat rate, you enjoy free access to all Academy learning formats.
Whether live courses, eBooks, tutorials, eLearning courses, webinars or release information – everything is included, at no additional cost.
Learning in the workplace: knowledge that works immediately
Many training courses fail because they remain too theoretical. Successful learning means being able to transfer content directly into practice. This is especially true for software training: If you know the theory but don’t know how to put it into practice on a day-to-day basis, you won’t work more efficiently. This also rapidly reduces the chances of success for complex digitalisation projects.
This is why the cronetwork academy focuses on practical training:
- All participants work directly on a demo system.
- The training content is tailored to realistic scenarios.
- Case studies from your own company can also be integrated into the training.
The result: participants can transfer what they have learnt directly into their day-to-day work and achieve tangible improvements.
cronetwork academy: Learning as a success factor in the industry
The cronetwork academy is specifically designed to help companies realise the full potential of cronetwork MES.
Customised training courses are available for different target groups:
The right training determines whether a company and its employees merely use the software or whether they utilise it as a genuine efficiency driver.
Securing knowledge for the long term: The challenge for companies
Many companies underestimate the high risk of knowledge loss due to employee turnover. Studies show that 5 to 10 % of key users are lost every year due to job changes, retirement or parental leave. Without targeted knowledge retention, this loss can have serious consequences.
The cronetwork academy helps to anchor knowledge in the company:
- Regular further training for existing key users secures expertise in the long term.
- Companies should train at least two key users per area in order to have a backup.
- Structured documentation and reference works help to make knowledge accessible in the long term.
Conclusion: learning as a strategic investment
Learning is not a one-off task – it is a continuous process. Companies that invest in the further training of their employees create a sustainable competitive advantage for themselves. Digital transformation requires flexibility and adaptability – and that starts with knowledge.
The cronetwork academy shows how practical and modern training concepts help companies to work more efficiently and develop further. If you want to fully utilise the potential of your software – and your employees – you should establish learning as an integral part of your corporate culture.
After all, knowledge is only an advantage if it is utilised.
