The Expert Dilemma

*OpenStorage

*Web 2.0 Infrastructure/MySQLBuild a comment – The more expertise the content, the less likely training can be justified

Future Workspaces, LLC

The more expert the content, the less likely training can be justified

The 'Expert' Dilemma

• Knowledge doubling every 2 years• Takes 10 years to make an expert• Most organizations determine the volume and

scope based upon the number of students• Organizations face a new dilemma

> Too few students to justify the creation of a course> Results in far fewer programs for advanced skills

But What About ...

• How do you “control” content? > The same way you control email

• Don't people put up silly or just plain bad content? > They are not anonymous; their careers are on the line.

Besides, the “crowd” governs the content

• Doesn't content get dated? > Search and comments help solve this

• Will there be a role left for learning functions? > Yes, the coolest job on the planet – ensuring people can do

their jobs and earn a living

Get over it!
