iLearning

In today's dynamic workplace, learning must become an integral part of work—and it must take place in collaboration with others as teams solve problems together. Learning is now the key to increased productivity and innovation for organizations in the twenty-first century.

Written by Mark Salisbury, an expert in human performance solutions, iLearning shows how organizations can implement learning systems in a collaborative, comprehensive, and systematic way. By using performance objectives to manage knowledge, organizations can embed training, best practices, and expert advice in their collaborative work processes. iLearning organizations can also use detailed knowledge to improve their processes and, most important, organizations that embrace iLearning can more accurately anticipate new challenges and plan strategically for innovation.

iLearning walks readers through the changes needed to become an innovative learning organization and describes how to facilitate collaborative work in an organization, sustain continuous learning, and how to apply the methodologies and technologies that support an iLearning organization. Step by step, the author shows how to

• Analyze work processes in terms of business steps, knowledge products, and the knowledge assets to complete those products
• Identify the performance objectives and determine what knowledge is needed to satisfy those performance objectives
• Recognize the different types of learners and determine the appropriate knowledge for them
