Organizations, both for-profit and non-profit, have for many years used one standard metric to determine the value of every resource allocation decision: Return On Investment (ROI). This measurement is completely appropriate for investments that have quantifiable results, such as software acquisition or new staff positions, but savvy Chief Learning Officers have begun to understand that ROI simply can’t provide a true measure of learning.

As the Learning 2010 conference is rapidly approaching, I was excited to have the opportunity to talk one-on-one with conference founder and renowned workplace learning expert Elliott Masie.  However, I did most of the talking, as the conversation was actually an interview Masie recorded for a podcast featuring my perspectives on professional learning changes, challenges, and trends. 
 
Take a listen to the podcast to hear me address:

1. What are the changes and challenges you see in Learning in 2010?
2. What are some marketplace changes for 2010?
3. What is coming up for your organization in the next 18 months?

This is just the beginning of an important dialogue that we look forward to continuing at Learning 2010 on October 24-27 in Orlando, FL.  We at Blackboard are thrilled to be joining over 1300 fellow learning professionals for this high-energy and collaborative event!  Will I see you there?
