This week, the whole team has been working heads down pulling together an interactive presentation on collaborative learning. We’ll preview it next week so stay tuned.
During our research, we saw an interesting presentation by the Gronstedt Group to the ASTD Annual Conference, In this presentation were some great examples of what companies like IBM and EMC are doing with collaborative learning We thought we would share these with you:
At IBM, they have completely embraced collaborative learning, with:
- 5,000 podcasts
- 3,400 blogs
- 70,000 people using wikis
- 2,000,000 podcast downloads
They estimate their annual savings to be in the hundreds of thousands of dollars.

EMC has adopted podcasting as the way to train their global sales force and customers. At EMC, they produce 5 - 10 new audio / video podcasts every week. Many are extremely entertaining. To see more , click here.
James Hunsiker, Manager of Sales at EMC says ” I’ve never seen the field organization so enthusiastic about learning”
If you’re interested in seeing if collaborative learning can work for you organization or one of your colleagues / clients, we are offering a complimentary assessment of your training efforts to see if collaborative learning can work. To schedule this, give me a call at 781-953-4510 or click here.

Training 2.0 in Action
( Every week, we’ll share with you an example of how our clients use Training 2.0 in real life to drive productivity, efficiency and results from training.)
Today, I am sitting at my desk, trying to wrap up some things before the weekend. Cell phone off, phone on service, e mail shut down, head down. All of a sudden, my on demand instant messaging widget came to life.
It was one of our clients, looking to find out how to access one of our podcasts. He tried my cell, office phone and sent me an e mail. He didn’t have my yahoo, AIM screen name. What could he do? He needed this information now..
Easy
He went to our blog and sent me an on-demand instant message using a widget by a company called meebo . Without even breaking concentration, I said hello, sent him the link he needed, and within seconds, I was back to my work and he had what he needed.
What happened here was that our client needed information from me, the subject matter expert. Traditional methods weren’t working. Thanks to On Demand Instant Messaging, one of the key collaboration technologies that are part of Training 2.0, he was able to get and I was able to provide this information immediately.
Have a great weekend…
