Special Report from London
1. Organizations Creating Digital Collaboration Strategies
2. Dr. Paul Mayberry of U.S. Dept of Defense Featured at TechLearn
3. Learning Quotation
4. Organizations Creating Digital Collaboration Strategies
1. Organizations Creating Digital Collaboration Strategies: I am on a
quick one day trip to London to present at an e-HR Briefing. One of the
dialogues that was ripe amongst the human resource executives from Europe
and Asia at this event was the immediate need to create wider Digital
Collaboration Strategies. In light of the recent events, on both an
economic and political front, many of the HR executives need to
dramatically expand the ability of their workforce to collaborate through
technology. While there are pockets of video, audio and web based
conferencing capacity throughout the organization, there are few companies
with enterprise Strategies for leveraging Digital Collaboration.
The MASIE Center is working on a paper that we will publish in a week here
TRENDS on ways to create a Digital Collaboration Strategy within the
organization. If you have any ideas that you would like to add to this
paper, please send me a note at emasie@masie.com
2. Dr. Paul Mayberry of U.S. Dept of Defense Featured at TechLearn: We are
honored to announce that Dr. Paul Mayberry from the U.S. Department of
Defense has just been added to our program at TechLearn. Dr. Mayberry
serves as the focal point on all issues and activities related to the
readiness of U.S. armed forces. He will be providing a unique
perspective of the process that the Pentagon faces in ensuring the
readiness of U.S. forces for both peactime contingencies and the crisis
that we are facing at the moment. Dr. Mayberry will be featured at our
General Session and will also join the dialogue with Jack Welch during his
keynote. The Advanced Distributed Learning Team will be at TechLearn, to
be held in Orlando, Florida, on October 28 to 31, providing updates on the
SCORM standards as well as gathering input and ideas from the community at
TechLearn about effective models for learning and training innovation.
Once again, Mike Parmentier will close TechLearn with a take-home trip
report prepared by his team for each attendee to use as they summarize the
content and dialogues from the Conference. (Info and on-line registration
is available at http://www.masie.com We have over 1,600 attendees
registered for the event and hotel space is limited).
3. Learning Quotation:
"In times of change, learners inherit the earth, while the learned find
themselves equipped to deal with a world that no longer exists."
- Eric Hoffer
4. Shift To Expense Side Investments for Learning Projects: In the past
several weeks, we have seen a number of organizations that were moving
towards making significant enterprise wide learning investments slightly
press the pause button. In each of these situations, the organization
decided to move forward through a series of expense side procurements
rather than make a large capital investment. Several organizations chose
to secure an ASP type model for a yearly fee, to get the capability of a
Learning or Content Management System, without making the trip through the
investment approval process. In another situation, an enterprise wide
investment in a learning system was delayed for a year while two of the
business units in the company moved forward with an out-sourcing of
learning content and services contract. We are tracking other ways in
which organizations are adapting to changing availability of investment
dollars.
