"You can't solve tomorrow's problems with the thinking of today." Albert Einstein

Did you know?

Your organizations' needs are constantly changing. But, since no one can truly predict the future how then do you prepare for it? Organizations need to have a range of learning options available that include the more traditional instructor-led training, mentoring and coaching, but also technology-enabled learning (e-learning), blended learning, and new learning approaches as games and simulations, informal learning, blogs and wikis, and new forms of "learning-at-the-speed of work".

It’s important therefore to understand your options so that you can best leverage them to meet your future challenges. In this session you’ll learn how to: recognize the key stages in your organization’s learning evolution; know when it’s time to transition to the next stage; and, what it will take to make that transition successful. This is the session for those of you who are now ready to take a serious look at your organization’s learning ‘journey’: where you’ve been, where you want to go in the future, what’s new and what’s coming, and what you’ll need to do to get there.

What the Experts Don’t Tell You About Implementing Your LMS: The Thinking Behind Effective Communication/Change Programs is the sequel to my webinar on "What the Experts Don't Tell You About Implementing Your LMS."

In the first part we looked at three very different case studies of LMS implementations. In this part we will explore the thinking and conceptual framework behind the techniques and approaches for change management, communications, and consumer marketing applied in each of these cases.

Use me as your consultant to explore any of the current issues you are having with your e-learning -- Low enrollments? High drop-out rates? Learner resistance? Manager apathy? Lack of senior management support? Interested in e-Learning 2.0? Want to know about blogs and wikis, informal learning, games and simulations?
