9 August Research Laboratory: Obsolete? (...crisscross...)

[Paul Terlemezian]

Perhaps the corporate training world does not need an innovation/research lab?

 

Other industries/departments might be doing the research for us.

 

I believe this is the case - particularly in the use of technology. For years I have been saying that marketing and training solve the same problem. Both functions seek to educate in order to change behavior.

 

The corporate training world needs to study how marketing uses technology and other innovations and then apply their learnings to impact workplace learning.

 

We can also learn from an innovation like the GPS.
