Work to Knowledge
Quality and efficiency in the activities of the controlling firm or franchisor and its units are required in the management of a business network or franchises in general. The BITTENCOURT Group regularly produces content and technologies to support and accelerate learning for all members in a network, knowing that this may be accomplished through access to knowledge and structured training programs.
The Group creates customized educational solutions for each client, ranging from special studies to specific educational solutions.
The actions, which include the development and management of Corporate Universities, can be taken out in person or via distance learning (EAD). Techniques and best teaching practices are employed in order to better operationalize the transfer of know-how to the network in a systematic and cost-effective manner.
The franchisor’s most significant mission might be considered the complete franchising training process. Because it allows the franchisor to reduce the operation’s risks while also increasing the network’s chances of success.
Educational Projects
These are one-of-a-kind projects that focus on organizing the network’s training activities.
They include needs analysis, curriculum formulation, learning path construction, course and training schedule description, and content and methodology definition for each educational action.
The franchisor firm can manage and monitor results from educational efforts within the network using an Educational Project designed by the BITTENCOURT Group.
This gives its franchisees a sense of security and preparedness for the management problems that come with it.
Because the brand’s culture, purpose, and values are instilled in each unit of the chain, the programs have a clear objective to ensure that the business rules are understood, followed, and maintained.
And one thing is certain: if professionally implemented and carried out by individuals who understand the business and have credibility in the topic, the time and resources spent in the process of organizing and conducting training pay off rapidly.
