SIBUR Business Practices

It has been more than a year since the educational platform was first launched. In that time, our subscribers have learnt a lot of new things, and so have we. 2020 will see further improvements in the platform services, with new topics and educational formats added based on the feedback of our partners, i.e. your feedback.

New services

We keep improving our platform to make it more fit for purpose and user friendly. The Training Programmes block now has filters to sort programmes by focus area, format and dates, while also featuring a search engine to browse through webinars more conveniently. It suffices to choose one of the three topics (SIBUR’s Products, Effective Production and Management Practices) and suitable training dates or format (webinar, video lectures, classroom training and online courses) to see the full list of programmes matching your criteria. If you know an approximate name of the training course all you have to do is type it in the search line!

Filters sorting programmes by focus area, format and dates help find the required course or webinar quicker.

As part of the Partner Expertise project customers can become platform speakers and have the chance to share experiences.

Another innovation is the introduction of Completed, New, Popular and Recommended markers, which will make it easier for visitors to navigate through the platform. The New marker will keep you updated on our latest developments so that you don’t miss anything important. The Recommended marker will show the programmes that you believe will suit you best. Once you are done studying a material, it will be marked as Completed, helping you to sort out the information you have already learnt.

The New and Recommended markers will help you find the most up-to-date and relevant programmes.

Making webinars available in two languages (Russian and English) is yet another step towards meeting the needs of our customers, including those from abroad.

It’s always easier with two languages

Making webinars available in two languages (Russian and English) is yet another step towards meeting the needs of our customers, including those from abroad, more fully. The new format makes it possible to invite international experts thus increasing the number of potential speakers.

On 13 March, the first webinar of this kind titled “Advances in Bio-Based Polymers” was staged, with technical experts Luijkx Romain and Dmitry Kremnev speaking about promising markets and the industry’s success stories, including those spearheaded by SIBUR.

A recording of the webinar is available at https://businesspractices.ru/programs/webinar/210/.

The first bilingual webinar took place on 13 March.
