Initial thoughts

Learning Organizations find themselves lately on a crossroad. One can argue that learning organizations are always on a crossroad: there is always a periodical cost reduction measure; there is always a trend about an authoring tools - Captivate on a Monday, Articulate on a Tuesday.

Yet, the current crossroad is somewhat different. This is about the learning organization existence. The risk is a combination of number of challenges: the economical situation puts pressure not experienced in the past; the gradual move to self learning caused sharp reduction in staff trainers, perhaps not too far from now, this profession will cease to exist; informal learning takes another toll, everyone can teach, therefore what benefit the organization has in maintaining a costly learning organization?


Is there a solution?

Perhaps.

The "secret" is in the organization ability to stay relevant. Relevant means making the proper interpretation of the company vision and mission, as well as the yearly strategic goals: how learning can contribute to achieving the company goals.

The answer may not be easy. The learning organization may need to change focus on a yearly basis, to change solution types, technologies and reach the most distant points in the company. Yet, this the meaning of staying relevant.
