E-Learning has been around for two decades, and it’s true to say early (and some current) e-learning delivered poor experiences and outcomes. It is easy for traditional training providers to feel justified to say e-learning didn’t work in the past and ROI is too difficult to achieve.

But our organisational L&D clients must respond to business demands:

1. Reduce travel time and expense
2. Reduce time in the classroom
3. Reduce administration
4. Consolidate training histories
5. Improve learning application and spread into the workplace
6. Demand value-add offerings from existing providers
7. Demonstrate to potential employees that we use learning technologies

and so on…

The opening pages of The 2020 Workplace reminds us of how we have become confident and expectant of technologies to help us learn, prepare and do our job. Entrepreneurial thinkers such as Ann Miura-Ko recognise how the internet has evolved business models so that products and services reach global clients efficiently and strategically.

Offering learning technologies, such as webinars and media rich performance support tools, as a value-add to clients is absolutely viable. It is a growth strategy, so long as it is done smartly, purposefully and with a deep understanding of the client needs.
