Organizations Modify Learning Plans as War Cautions Increase
Over the past 24 hours, we have been contacting senior learning officers in organizations around the world, to see how they are coping with the current war situation. Here are some of the comments and strategies:
International Travel: Most of the organizations have implemented a short term halt on non-critical international travel. In several organizations, all international travel and learning events have been cancelled.
Domestic Travel: Most organizations are proceeding with domestic travel based learning events. However, they are adding on-line, video conference or asynchronous attendance alternatives.
Use of Web Conferencing: Serious increased use of web conferencing and audio conferencing planned in the next few weeks.
Conferences: A number of our colleagues are hosting conferences in the next two weeks. They are anticipating decreased attendance based on location and also on travel requirements of attendees. Once again, e-Learning options are being added for those that can not attend.
Distraction Levels: A number of senior programs have been rescheduled in order to cope with higher levels of distractions amongst attendees.
Corporate Communications: Ever since 9/11, many organizations have implemented emergency communications strategies, to be able to use both email and web based applications to keep an informational and culture link in emergency situations. In the US, many organizations have implemented "what if" plans, dependent on Homeland Security Crisis Levels.
