New training strategies for a new day

Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to provide an overview of the current landscape of training strategies being implemented and a view of the future.

Design/methodology/approach

This paper was written based on the findings and observations from our consulting work with organizational clients, placing them in an historical perspective.

Findings

While technologies change, how we learn does not. If you want to be strategic about the technologies you use, look for the underlying principles of learning upon which they are built.

Originality/value

This paper can help an organization be more thoughtful and intentional about the training/learning strategies they use rather than be drawn to the new shining object or latest fad of trend.
