As an e-Learning provider we are in the fortunate position of offering a service with acknowledged benefits. Therefore, we rarely talk to businesses that don’t already feel we can add value. However, this advantage can often be offset by the fact that customers want to maximise all those proven learning benefits as widely and quickly as possible. We of course welcome this aspirational thinking and ultimately share that goal. However, the process of implementing everything at once can result in a complex, time consuming and expensive project. So rather than encouraging the building of empires, we counsel gradual expansion from firm foundations. Starting out large can often become unmanageable, and with so many goals each target becomes obscured behind another. Each department’s focus will result in a different set of objectives, and each of these will need measuring and refining. Before you know it, you have created a platform which is well intentioned but where learners are bombarded by multiple messages all clamouring for their attention.
