Learning audiences —workers, customers, brand advocates—are consuming content at increasing rates from a growing number of sources. How can you most effectively compete for their time? How will you continue to launch successful learning initiatives at the speed and in the quantities your learners demand and your business requires?
Forces no learning organization can avoid
Cultural: the attention war
We live in an attention economy. Everything competes for your learners’ time. No business can afford to ignore the battle it must wage for their time and attention.
“Give it to me when I want it, on whatever device I want, and make it engaging,” learners are demanding, because that’s what they demand of all the content they consume. At the same time, they’re asking for learning solutions that will help them solve problems quickly and allow them to work in collaboration with team members regardless of location. You can’t avoid these demands, but you can become great at meeting them.
Demographic: the old is leaving, the new is coming
Around 10,000 Baby Boomers reach retirement age each day.[1] Digital natives outnumber Boomers[2], and they’re entering the workforce at rapid rates. They grew up in a world of connected devices, customized experiences, and online communities, and they expect their learning to fit seamlessly into their lives. Learning must live where they do.
Learning is a business: budgets, scale, and pace rule
Products and services change constantly to meet evolving customer needs. Compliance, policy, and organizational changes are common. Learning has to keep up. It’s important to provide just the right information to solve the problem at hand, and to do so on budget. Pace and scale matter. Moving at scale and pace can help business.
