Here is an overview of my answers, plus elaborations and suggestions for further reading, for each of the questions that was (and was not) asked.

A business organization tends to thrive on systematic processes, whereas its employees desire to accomplish unique and purposeful tasks that give them a sense of meaning. As a result of the impersonal needs of a business, employees often feel like cogs in a machine, which lowers their overall productivity and squelches their creativity. Have you observed this within your own business?

The rate at which an organization learns may be the only sustainable competitive advantage. If you are learning more rapidly than the competition, you can get ahead and stay ahead. (Garvin & Edmondson, 2008). Every organization faces some kind of competition. Manufacturers compete for market share and for talent. Retail businesses compete for space and for customers.

That is, reflecting on what’s known about how we learn and what that implies for the elements of learning. Too often, other than saying we need an objective and practice (and getting those wrong), we talk about ‘content’ Basically, we don’t talk enough about the subtleties.

At the recent DevLearn, Donald Clark talked about AI in learning, and while I largely agreed with what he said, I had some thoughts and some quibbles. I discussed them with him, but I thought I’d record them here, not least as a basis for a further discussion. Donald’s an interesting guy, very sharp and a voracious learner, and his posts are both insightful and inciteful (he doesn’t mince words ;).

Any successful organization tracks the return on investment (ROI) for any initiative they implement. If the returns are negative then there is a good chance that the program will not be in place very long. While most people think of ROI in terms of products (or services) being offered, it also applies to internal programs like training and elearning.

At the recent DevLearn conference, David Kelly spoke about his experiences with the Apple Watch. Because I don’t have one yet, I was interested in his reflections. There were a number of things, but what came through for me (and other reviews I’ve read) is that the time scale is a factor. Now, first, I don’t have one because as with technology in general, I don’t typically acquire anything in particular until I know how it’s going to make me more effective.

If you are selling online courses or are thinking about selling them, then you probably wonder how you are going to market them. Many of you probably know this but it’s worth saying: there is no magic-bullet for online (internet) marketing. You will find people who tell you otherwise, but it simply isn’t true.

Much of what is written about on this site has to do with the elearning industry, and in some ways this article is no exception.
