The Learning Circuits

APRIL 1, 2007

Like many industries today, there are significant changes going on for Instructor-Led Training (ILT) and Off-the-Shelf Content Vendors today. This causes several problems for ILT and Content Vendors. Vendor prices are not likely to increase as additional training options continue to increase ways in which people can learn.

The Learning Circuit's Blog question for this month is " ILT and Off-The-Shelf Vendors, What Should they Do ?" I am going to answer that question by recanting a story from Gadgets, Games and Gizmos for Learning. In high school, I literally had a lesson on how to fold a map.

The Big Question for January in the Learning Circuits Blog is, rather predictably, what are your predictions for 2010? Certainly those vendors that supply classroom training to employers have been having a torrid time over the past year and this situation is unlikely to improve – in fact it may never do.

The big question among employers who invest in training remains, “What’s in it for me?” When each member of the team thinks and behaves more like a partner than a vendor to the business, the working relationship will be more transformational than transactional. Most importantly, it requires more listening than talking.

What I'm quickly realizing is how important this conversation really is and it's far beyond ILT and OTS Vendors - it's all of us. It's a question of what will be happening.

Anecdotally times are incredibly tough right now for training vendors. But I've talked to training vendors who are down 30 – 60% on their sales in the first quarter. In having lots of conversations with heads of training departments, training vendors, and training consultants, it's not at all clear what we should be selling instead.
