Transformations in Learning
This year has been an exciting time in the learning field. DAI has become adept at "we-learning," a new trend that emphasizes collaboration and capitalizes on employees'
competencies to facilitate organic business growth. Synthesizing traditional training and newer, more informal approaches, allows management to engage more staff in ways that are both stimulating and effective. DAI advocates using existing technology, such as social media sites, wiki pages, and video portals, to encourage employee information sharing and learning in interactive ways. For further information on these trends, we found the following sources helpful: Society for Human Resource Management and the Training Industry Quarterly. |
 DAI Deepens VA Partnership
Recently, DAI was awarded three contracts with the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to support a variety of strategic communications, human capital, and learning initiatives. The largest of these efforts is a contract to develop, communicate, and deliver program-based training on a variety of topics affecting over 260,000 employees. As part of this effort, DAI will develop a comprehensive marketing and communications campaign to keep employees informed about learning opportunities. Over the next three months, DAI will provide web-based and instructor-led training to over 35,000 employees throughout the United States on a wide range of topics.
The second contract focuses on developing and launching a virtual Human Resources (HR) Academy within VA - the first of its kind in the federal government. The effort aims to transform VA's HR workforce into a streamlined and first-rate provider of services to veterans and their families.
Finally, DAI is supporting VA's Corporate Senior Executive Management Office (CSEMO), which manages senior executives, Title 38 equivalents, and senior professionals. The project focuses on educating executives about VA's executive performance management system through a series of communications, consulting services, and workshops, and supporting VA with Office of Personnel Management (OPM) and Office of Management and Budget (OMB) certification of its executive performance management systems.
To learn more about these and other efforts, please visit our news & events page.
We encourage you to contact Nicole Alley, Business Development Manager, by email or phone (703-838-0093, ext. 206) or Aaron Jones, Business Development/Account Executive, by email or phone (703-838-0093, ext. 220) to discuss your business needs, as well as potential partnership opportunities. |

DAI Gives Back
DAI has a proud history of giving back to our community. In March 2010, DAI employees organized a food drive to support the Capital Area Food Bank. In January 2010, we also supported the Haitian earthquake relief effort through a contribution to Doctors Without Borders. Every year, we organize a toy drive to support the U.S. Marine Corps Toys for Tots program. Please let us know if there is a way we can partner with your organization to support other local and national non-profits and community events. |
