There is not a company in existence that would not benefit from higher sales. After all, increased revenue equals a larger workforce equals higher productivity equals more sales. At least, this would be the cycle in a perfect world. The fact is that many companies are selling more products than they did in the past and still are not seeing the rising profits they need in order to survive.

And thru my esteemed colleague Jane Hart (who’s Modern Workplace Learning book I’m going through and thoroughly impressed), I’m giving a mindmapping webinar today for a group of several universities in Ireland.

But what about us as e-learning professionals, shouldn’t we be learning too? Shouldn’t we learn how to perform better in our roles as creators of learning? We should. Obviously! But we don’t! Hardly any of us utilize e-learning’s inherent capabilities to give ourselves feedback on the success/failure of our e-learning.
