Social Learning in Business

Mid last year, I registered for the ‘Gold Package’ on the Social Learning Centre, UK to undertake all their courses.  That registration was “worth it weight in gold” (pardon the pun) in my professional and personal development in the last year.  Certainly I have mentioned them in this blog many times so it goes to […]

The Move from Face-to-Face to Online Learning

Lately there’s been a real push at work to consider alternatives to delivering facilitator-led programs into online formats.  There’s various reasons for doing so but the main ones are to make our content accessible to our interstate colleagues.

Right Now! CRM In the Cloud…

I’m not endorsing this product nor paid to write about it – I’m simply blogging my own views. Today we had a demonstration of a new product implemented in our organisation and I was impressed.
