What is the Virtual Learning Resource Centre?

Ashridge VLRC brochure

Connect to Ashridge insight 24 hours a day, 7 days a week with the Virtual Learning Resource Centre (VLRC). As an online resource, the VLRC offers up-to-date content on demand, and of the quality you would expect from the UK's number one business school for tailored learning.

Our focus is on customising the VLRC to the needs of your organisation, and personalising it to your needs as an individual. If your organisation has a competency framework, we customise the content and structure of the VLRC in line with your organisation's key competences. If you are looking to build a competency framework then this is something we can work with you to develop. We can also customise a 360 degree psychometric test to the needs of your organisation, helping you to manage talent and build individual self awareness. The individual is at the heart of the VLRC where a self-assessment questionnaire enables you to assess your strengths and areas of development and create a personalised learning journey mapped to a wealth of Ashridge resources.

Resources are delivered in many different formats to suit individual learning styles:

Learning guides offer the opportunity to explore the Ashridge approach to management and leadership, supported by practical ideas for applying what you’ve learned, self-assessment exercises and summaries of key management books.

Learning guides are complemented by pdf versions of over 75 of the concise yet comprehensive Management Pocketbookİ series offering a more bite-sized, graphical and fun approach to learning.

We review the management books you wish you had time to read and extract the key learning points to keep you up-to-date in management thinking. Popular book reviews and management classics are available in audio format to help you fit learning around busy work schedules.

Add to this a database of 200 management journals, insights into industry performance and the latest Ashridge publications, and you can see why so many organisations look to Ashridge for online insight.
