Here are my selected highlights from their findings: Forty-four percent of respondents expect their annual L&D budgets to remain the same during the next 12 months, while 24% expect budgets to increase and only 17% have plans to cut budgets in 2009. Face-to-face learning will remain the number one method used by organisations.

As a result, I came to the conclusion in 2009 that blogging is journalism , pure and simple. It soon also became clear that blogging had become the domain of a select bunch of die-hard enthusiasts and was never going to become a tool for the masses, for whom Facebook status updates and tweets are more than adequate forms of expression.

According to a Neilsen report, as quoted in A World of Connections , a special report in The Economist on social networking, in October 2009 the countries in which users spent the most hours using social media were Australia, the UK and Italy. For each of this top three, the average user spent over six hours in the month. Why these three?

The CIPD's own courses assume this, although it is my understanding that new professional standards and presumably a new curriculum are due in 2009. That's why train the trainer courses in the UK assume that the first thing you will want to learn is how to deliver in a classroom, in your role as 'trainer as a performance artist.'
