Today, if you are a training professional,
the opportunities to make an impact in your organization are
extraordinary. E-learning is reinventing not only the corporate
training landscape, but also the entire business landscape
itself. In a world of increasingly rapid change, the role
of learning has become the dominant issue in the creation
of competitive advantage.
Smaller businesses and business units can also take advantage of e-learning. An example of an exciting new product that gives smaller businesses and business units the power to Author, Deliver and Track training is e-Learning in a Box™. The future is here for groups that have been unable to start e-learning initiatives because of price or complexity. Smaller groups do not need a big training budget to afford a powerful e-learning system now, nor an IT department and months of planning to deploy a new e-learning portal. This evens out the competitive advantage that large companies have had in the past.
Growing competition, new
technologies, and rapidly changing markets require that successful
companies create new knowledge and distribute it in timely,
effective, and efficient ways. An organization's specialized,
internal knowledge, the kind that can't be copied or duplicated,
is its chief differentiator and its true source of competitive
advantage. All learners throughout the organization should
be able to continually expand and perfect their skills of
an organizations special pool of knowledge and processes so
that this knowledge can be rapidly translated into performance
and practice. To do this e-Learning must be coupled to emerging
enterprise-scale Knowledge Management, to effectively synchronize
with partners, customers and suppliers.
