Actual Challenges of People/Management Development Virtualisation – Learning must be independent from time and space, „pull” access if information is favoured, collaboration facilities are needed, Speed – Intensive development, and always up-to-date content is a requirement, Standardisation – Courses and course elements shall be applicable in all technical environments and shall be interchangeable, Personalisation – Ergonomic, modular learning that fits individual needs and allows for personal strategies is an advantage, Measurability – Training impact has to be measurable as precisely as possible, also in order to calculate ROI, Purpose – Learning is only meaningful if it has a practical impact (on business), Fun – Enjoyable, engaging, interactive content: „Lifelong Learning” shall begin to sound good finally!

Difficulties of e-Learning Adaptation Informatics tend to overweight content Traditionalism, conventionalism Lack of management example and interest Lack of support; tolerance or overregulation Lack of integration with incentives At the end: delay, „Let’s see which way the cat jumps” But…. You don’t have to have to get desperate!
