Change is a constant in today';s business world, and any company that does not address the ever-pressing need to train its employees in new processes, technologies, and regulatory requirements will lose its edge - and possibly more. The Web, however, has brought new ways to disseminate learning programs without having to hire instructors and host expensive classroom sessions. Today, many companies are using online learning platforms to teach everything from compliance procedures to the principles of project management. The authors of this ExecBlueprint work for such companies, and describe their experiences with developing, mounting, and benchmarking such trainings. While they can provide a cost-efficient and consistent content delivery system, on-demand programs cannot solve every training need, the authors emphasize, nor are they appropriate for every employee. But, if designed to fit the needs and education levels of their intended audience, they can enable more employees to access more information, resulting in more people who perform better, and who stay at the company longer.
