Saratoga Springs, NY Learning NewsMASIE Productions

The Learning Marketplace is in the midst of a significant shift – with changing client expectations, shifting requirements for Content, Systems and Services and a large dose of “Hype”. This month, Elliott Masie hosts an interactive 60 minute conference call focusing on these changes/evolutions/revolutions and how they are changing the nature of buying in the learning marketplace.

Elliott Masie is an internationally recognized futurist, analyst, researcher and organizer on the critical topics of workforce learning, business collaboration and emerging technologies. During this global call, he will provide an overview of the shifting Learning Marketplace, interview several learning leaders from buying organizations, and give a perspective on the shifts and opportunities for learning suppliers.

There is no charge for this call that is exclusively open to Learning Suppliers, Vendors & Consultants. Topics will include:

  • Learning Systems: Beyond Air Traffic Control to Personalization & Learner Engagement
  • The Video Wave: Lags in the Marketplace for Video Learning Content, Tools and Systems
  • Learning Budgets: Drifts in Centralized and Line of Business Learning Budgets
  • Social & Mobile Learning Demand and Hype: What Are Organizations Really Buying/Using?
  • The OPEN Learning Space: How Do Khan Academy & Open Courses Impact Corporate Learning
  • Global Learning Marketplace Realities

“The Learning Marketplace is shifting – in terms of dollars, services, expectations and suppliers; more “OPEN” options, more aligned fields like Talent, and an occasional break between customer requirements and offerings in the marketplace.  Learning will be a key market and it is critical that suppliers stay aligned with changing buyer needs” – Elliott Masie

The Changing Learning Marketplace: Shifts, Hype and Expectations global call is scheduled on Thursday, August 16, 2012 at 11 am (EDT – New York) and registration is open online at www.masie.com/MarketplaceCall
