Online Training for Corporations

The economy is evolving to a knowledge-based economy. In the last four decades, economic and technological forces have transformed the U.S. and Australian economies from production-based economies to service-based economies. In the old economy, corporate value and value creation were defined primarily through physical and financial assets. The new economy puts a premium on intellectual capital.

However, the life of knowledge and human skills today is shorter than ever, increasing the pressure to remain at the forefront of education and training throughout a career. In the midst of globalization and technological revolution, degrees are just the beginning of a forty-year continuing education. Life-long learning may be considered merely a buzzword today, but it is quickly becoming an imperative; a paradigm shift in the way education is viewed and delivered.

At the beginning of the new millennium, corporations view learning increasingly as a competitive weapon rather than an annoying cost factor. Business success depends more and more on high-quality employee performance, which in turn requires high-quality training. Corporate executives are beginning to understand that enhancing employee skills is the key to creating a sustainable competitive advantage. In the quest to remain competitive in today's labour-tight market, companies are exploiting advances in technology to train employees more rapidly, more effectively, and at less expense than in the past.

Technological changes increase complexity and velocity of the work environment. Technology has changed the way we live, work, think, and learn. Today's workforce has to process more information in a shorter amount of time. New products and services are emerging with accelerating speed. As production cycles and life spans of products continue to shorten, information and training quickly become obsolete. Training managers feel the urgency to deliver knowledge and skills more rapidly and efficiently whenever and wherever needed. In the age of just-in-time production, just-in-time training becomes a critical element to organisational success.
