  • Salary and Compensation Report from The eLearning Guild
    I was just perusing The eLearning Guild's 2008 report on salary and compensation for the the industry (you can join for free to read the report). On the whole, The eLearning Guild does some excellent research, but my one gripe is that sometimes they drill down so much that the data is not very useful. This is a result of the extremely small number of data entries they receive for certain metrics (i.e. there are several instances where only one person fits the breakdown).I ... be expected.I'm not just picking on The eLearning Guild.

  • The Only Training Metric that Matters
    There is only one training metric that matters: the person responsible for the training program gets promoted. Any other metric, be it smilesheets or increased organizational productivity, or stock price, is only ammunition.Now, clearly we need to tap into pure research. We need to pilot. But there are at least three reasons why this is the critical metric.1. You can't do any good if you are fired.2. Your clients, be they sales teams or management, live in a world of results.
