Detroit Horizon A Learning Academy  for the Digital Staff Prepared by Ali Diallo The Ad Transformation Group
DMP MISSION STATEMENT To engage every person in our market with products that improve their lives. WHAT DOES THIS REALLY MEANS FOR OUR STAFF? HOW DO WE ESTABLISH A CONNECTION BETWEEN OUR STAFF AND THE DMP MISSION STATEMENT? GOING BEYOND THE OBVIOUS (CUSTOMER FOCUS) AND CONNECTING WITH OUR INTERNAL NEEDS (EMPLOYEE FOCUS)
DMP MISSION STATEMENT “ To  engage   every  person  in our market” Recognizing that we need to adopt a customer-centric approach while developing an employee-centric culture In doing so we need to ensure we also listen to the needs of our Sales Staff Focusing on employee confidence and brand development “ I am proud to work for DMP”
DMP MISSION STATEMENT “ With  products  that  improve  their  lives ” What kind of products can we offer our staff that would improve their lives and the quality of their work? Improving the lives of our Staff means improving their abilities to better perform their jobs which means more revenue for the company.
DMP GOALS: The Mission Statement Revisited To engage every person in our market  with products that improve their lives. How do we engage our Sales Force with products that help them reach their goals? AUDIENCE REVENUE BRAND EQUITY
The Mission Statement Revisited How do we empower our teams with the knowledge, tools, training, confidence and enthusiasm they need to reach their goals? “ In an employee-centric culture, a free flow of communication, ideas and innovative thinking is encouraged throughout the organizational structure. All ideas can be expressed and will be received in a positive and respectful manner. Each employee is valued and considered critical to the organization's success in delivering its shared vision and mission. Talent will be nurtured by giving each employee an opportunity to grow, learn, develop skills and pursue goals.” Texas A&M University Financial Management Operations
FEEDBACK FROM THE AEs “ Training was nice, but basic.  I feel like we need ongoing training.” “ Our digital knowledge is still pretty basic.” “ Teach me more about digital.  Even if I don’t need the information, having it helps me be more confident about the product.” “ I think there is always something to be learned about our products, even the most basic newsprint.” In October 2010 the Ad Transformation group conducted a survey that asked  the AEs what they thought they needed most.  Here are some of their answers. _____________________________________________
FEEDBACK FROM THE AEs “ I think we should make time to continue training on the entire product portfolio, one piece at a time.” “ We need continued training and focus on accountability to hit our digital numbers.” “ I still need some help working on proposals.” “ I still feel there is a need for continued training on digital.” Continued _____________________________________________

THE PICK-A-SCHOOL CONCEPT Much like any online university, Detroit Horizon  provides training courses that are grouped in fields (or categories) called “Schools”.  The AEs have the opportunity to join a school and attend all the courses pertaining to that school or field. There are currently 3 schools: THE BASICS This school features basic training courses that focus on the essential skills  and knowledge the AEs need to acquire or develop: standard operating procedures, how to fill out an online insertion order, how to navigate through Sharepoint, basic selling techniques, etc. TIPS & TRICKS This school features a series of tips and how-to guides developed by seasoned AEs and Digital Experts (“How to Prepare a Powerful Campaign Result Report”, “Digital Tips from an AE”, etc). ABOVE & BEYOND The Above & Beyond school goes beyond the standard training opportunities and expose the AEs to a broader digital world.  It features such courses as “Learning More About Detroit’s Digital Competitive Advantages”, “The Future of Online Advertising”, “What is the Competition Doing?”.
