Readers: I took a few weeks off from writing TechLearn TRENDS after
TechLearn finished in Orlando. We have been doing some
1. Jack Welch on Learning & Business: The 1,640 attendees of TechLearn
2001 in Orlando at the end of October heard Jack Welch, the former
Chairman of General Electric, talk about the importance of Learning in the
success of a business. Here is what he answered to my question about how
he views Learning:
“It is about raising the fundamental intellect of the organization every
day. It is what makes organizations win. And inspiring people to learn
because the excitement and the energy they get from that learning is so
enormous, it is how you energize an organization. By making it curious,
by making it say wow, by finding wows all of the time, by creating new
learning. That is what making an organization win is all about."
"You have to build the best team, that's the first thing we talked about.
You got to give that team a learning environment and then the sky's the
limit. As long as they know that they can stretch and reach and try
things... It is that damn bureaucracy that likes to box it in and you
have to fight it every day."
The transcript from Jack Welch's interview and hundreds of hours of
content from TechLearn are available free at http://www.techlearn.com
2. Skills for e-TRAINERS Lab Scheduled: We are proud to announce an
upcoming session of our popular class:
Skills for e-TRAINERS Lab
January 9-11, 2001 - Saratoga Springs, NY

3. Finding High Profile Success Stories: One of the most important tasks
that learning professionals can do in these tighter times is to use
December to assemble some very detailed success stories from the past
year. We are urging learning departments to reach out to the business
units and gather together very specific success stories that show the
power and impact of training efforts. Build these into profiles that can
be used to market learning to both workers and senior management.
