The e-Learning Tune-Up: Getting Peak Performance from Your e-Learning
By Lance Dublin
No doubt about it. Regardless of how expensive your car is, you regularly take it in for a tune-up. Shouldn't you do the same with your much more costly e-learning? Companies everywhere are trying to do more with less. They want to get better results from their e-learning without having to spend a lot more money. Tuning-up your current programs is certainly less expensive than purchasing a new system or adding on more 'options'. The way to increase performance for a reasonable investment in time and, maybe money, is to get the extra mile out of what you've already got in place. A tweak here. A re-alignment there. And, voila' your e-learning can be running at peak performance. Learn More

The Learner-Centric Approach to Enterprise Education
By Evan Berglund
Just as the product-oriented enterprise of yesterday was forced to become the market-oriented enterprise of today, to stay relevant the learning and development department of tomorrow will have to give up on today's management-centric model in favor of a learner-centric one. And just as auto manufacturers found that being market-oriented didn't mean putting more scantily clad girls on the hood, the forward-looking CLO will know that being learner-centric means more than installing new bells and whistles in the library.

How Intuitive Intelligence Can Transform Business
By Arupa Tesolin
Sure as the sun will rise on another day, the current economy will change, suitably and often unpredictably. The upward surge in technology and just as unwittingly it's consequent downward lurches in negative profit went contrary to the grains of most analyst views. Could it be that analysts are just as reined in by unsubstantiated information as non-analysts? Just how relevant then in today's unprecedented and changing business and economy is the analyst view? For all it's facts, market studies, corporate reports, knowledge and information, it can still be WRONG. Learn More
Technology Kicks Up Leadership Development
By Darin E. Hartley
When I think of leadership development, I think of these major phases: recruiting and on-boarding, competency development, and competency maintenance. Recruiting and on-boarding implies all of those activities associated with finding, attracting, and hiring the best possible managers for your organization. Competency development is about developing the new leaders once they're part of the team. Competency maintenance is keeping leaders competent in the plethora of skills and knowledge required for them to perform at peak levels.

Creativity and Innovation Day
Happy Birthday Leonardo Da Vinci!
Have you heard about Creativity and Innovation Day - or C.I.D. for short? It is the result of an iniative that is turning into a movement. It is celebrated on April 21 to commemorate the birthday of Leonardo Da Vinci (his actual birth date is April 15), the famous Italian painter and inventor whose genius far surpassed the aesthetic realm integrated crossover knowledge from many diverse fields engineering, science, anatomy and the imagination of things yet to come.
This is a more formal kind of creativity and it is a creativity that is supported through a grant system that benefits universities, researchers, scholars, and industry. C.I.D. is another kind, it is a grass roots movement driven by people who want to encourage and increase our practice of real creativity in life, business, and society.
CID provides a time and space where people can feel comfortable expressing their creative abilities, a place where innovation can thrive, and a system of communication so that people all over the world keep informed and feel part of a truly global event. To foster continued creativity and innovation, Idea Week (April 15 - 21) was also developed. For details on how you can participate visit www.creativityday.org.
