The Future of the Business of Learning

Corporate training departments and training companies are facing challenging times. It’s clear to thrive they need to focus on business critical issues for the organization, provide solutions provide real value, differentiate their offerings, and look at ways to provide value beyond being a publisher of courses and courseware. However, that’s easier said than done.

This online event will bring together people with a variety of perspectives on what we should be doing today to set ourselves up for success going forward. We will look at questions that include:
• Is this a temporary downturn or changing landscape?
• How will demand change?
• What will internal or external customers pay for that's not traditional training?
• What's already selling today?
• What business models, products, companies should we be watching?
• What should we be doing today to be in position for the future?

Organized and Moderated by Tony Karrer.

You can read more background on the topic from Tony's post: Business of Learning.
