I received a question today and thought I'd ask blog readers if they can help with answers. The question comes from a blog reader who captures a lot of different videos within their organization. They have "over a couple of thousand of video and audio clips that new hires and tenured employees are currently using for on-boarding and training." What they want to do is to help employees better access the video content. They've seen viddler which allows people to tag specific sections within the video. They are interested in that capability, but also in rating the videos, and ...

Ray Jimenez - Friday, June 27, 2008 - CommentsNow I've heard it all
Way back in October 2005, I published a series of posts entitled 'The new IT training'. One of my central arguments was that IT applications training was becoming largely redundant because such a large portion of the population was now IT-savvy (probably more because of their engagement with computers at home than through any efforts on behalf of their employers). Obviously I was jumping the gun. I ran a workshop this week with six IT trainers working in the National Health Service. IT trainers usually have great stories, but these two really startled me: One IT user ...

Let's make it a culture "that a training impact evaluation" be done for every training effort.According to Elliott Masie:"The hardcore answer is that every time we start a project for a business unit, we demand that an impact evaluation be built into the deal. Sure, we want to know if the employees learned the content. But, the impact evaluation is based on a changed and measurable result on the balance sheet. Sales training results in increased revenue.

Ray Jimenez - Wednesday, June 25, 2008 - Comments"Humans are suckers for scale" - The Art of Simplexity
In the June 23, issue of Time Magazine, page 61, the article on "The Art of Simplexity" states:"A houseplant, with its microhydraulics and fine-tuned metabolism, may be more complex than a manufacturing plant." "Humans are suckers for scale. Shock and awe should win a war, until an insurgency beats it back." This leads me to think that in the training industry, we tend to think of scale.
