This post by David Grebow first appeared in LinkedIn Pulse on November 15, 2015. When Stephen Gill and I were researching and writing our latest book, Only Smart Companies Win, about what it means to create and work in a “Learning Culture”, we tried to imagine what it would mean to develop training programs in that culture. In the current Training Culture's formal [1] ‘push’ model, training is pushed or chosen for the trainees.

Have you ever started working on a project only to find out that someone else in your organization is working on the same project? Have you ever been stuck trying to research data in your organization only to find out the guy next door did all that research work last year, and all you had to do was go next door for your answers? Yep. Been there, done that – and from these experiences, I learned to talk more about projects I was working on.

We’ve heard the numbers before: The average company spends around $1,208 per employee per year on training costs. But that statistics can be misleading, especially when company size and industry come into play. The truth is that the costs to truly train an employee vary widely–and in some cases, may be much more than necessary. Since training is only as effective as its content and delivery method, the true cost of ineffective training might be much, much more.

When I think about closed captions, I’m taken back to my childhood, and the booming declaration by an anonymous narrator during Saturday morning cartoons, “closed captioning for Arthur provided by contributions to your local PBS Station by viewers like you.” What I didn’t realize as a child was that it meant something; those captions were giving other viewers the ability to enjoy the same show when they otherwise wouldn’t have been able to follow the story.

ELearning programs quickly impart needed skills. ELearning isn't just more of the same where employee training is concerned. These solutions use interfaces that today's workers are clearly familiar with - online dashboards, mobile controls, multimedia - and make them part of the ongoing education process. This new aspect may add to engagement and recall, and that's to say nothing of the time and money benefits of replacing the classroom model with more flexible processes.

so I belong to a ukulele band, The Gang of Ukes , and am often called on to double on kazoo. While I have a bunch of metal and plastic kazoos, including the extra-loud Kazoobie Wazoogle and the trumpet (the keys move! They don't change the sound, but they move!), I thought it was time to buy a "real" one, with better tone and more control. Kazoos are folk instruments and there are still a few craftspeople around who make them from wood, from scratch.

A recent post by my colleague in the Internet Time Alliance, Jane Hart , has created quite the stir. In it, she talks about two worlds: an old world and a new world of workplace learning. And another colleague from the Serious eLearning Manifesto , Will Thalheimer, wrote a rather ‘spirited’ response. I know, respect, and like both these folks, so I’m wrestling with trying to reconcile these seemingly opposite viewpoints.
