Use external teams when… • Quantities are very high • Build complexity is very high • Cost is a key factor • Either the content is simple, or you trust them to understand what you need. 10
Use internal people when… • Closeness to the “business” is critical • You need to develop understanding of elearning • Materials need to integrate closely with other elements 11
Allow end users to create when… • They need to… • You have systems in place to share 12
A real-life problem • Large retail organisation • 160,000 product lines being bought and sold in small retail outlets • Staff have to know how to value and sell the products • Levels of expertise vary between nil and highly refined 13
Why is this approach appropriate? • Quantity • Responsiveness • Involvement • Effectiveness • Cost! Aren't these the issues that every L&D person is struggling with at the moment? 15
When is this approach appropriate? • Skill sharing • Processes • How-to’s/rules of thumb • Problem solving • Top down communications 16
