Special Note: Pandemic (Bird Flu) and Learning Readiness

There is growing concern about the impact of a Pandemic (Bird Flu) outbreak and the impact on business and society. The MASIE Center is launching a "Readiness Conversation" amongst learning professionals to share resources and launch a number of projects.

Impacts could include disruption of travel, global market changes and employee distraction. What should our organizations be doing to prepare and create a readiness plan? What is the role of learning departments in this readiness planning? Can organizations share resources and create free e-Learning modules to use if this tragedy hits?

We are creating an open Wiki focused on Pandemic Bird Flu Learning Readiness. We have added some key links to resource sites:

We look forward to working with a wide range of NGO and other organizations on these projects. Hopefully, the Pandemic will not occur, yet preparation is important.

Feel free to contact me at emasie@masie.com

Yours in learning,

Elliott Masie
