Businesses are witnessing an epidemic: the lack and loss of experience in employees. In the past, U.S. Government Accountability Office (USGAO) data showed , that for every 10 employees, 7 are experienced and 3 are new. Today, this is reversed; 6 are new and 4 are experienced. The problem impacts the profits and performances of all types of organizations.

Today, 10,000 Baby Boomers retired in the U.S. On average, they have 35 years of experience each, across every type of job in your organization. Tomorrow, it happens again.

Typically, people consider coaching as a way to catalyze some type of change: change in career, change in behavior, change in business results or income and change in life satisfaction. Most often, coaching interventions involve employing an individual who serves as a coach to help facilitate that change, but what would it look like if individuals could coach themselves? More importantly, is it really possible for self-coaching to effect positive change?!

As the Mad-Hatter said to Alice (in Alice in Wonderland), "if you don't know where you're going, any road will take you there." With or without the Mad-Hatter we know the basic truth of this statement. Even without such a strategy, organizations though haven't stood still. They have spent monies, allocated resources, and invested time. However, without a clear and defined organizational learning strategy, organizations find themselves spending too much time, money and resources to get too little result. Significant investments in learning technologies are wasted. Prepared and motivated learning professionals are under-utilized. The workforce is left under-prepared and supported. And, as a result the organization is unable to fulfill it's promise to customers and shareholders, clients and supporters. This is truly an example of the 'ready-fire-aim' syndrome.

Do stories in eLearning have to be true? How much can you embellish? What you should never lie about? Authenticity is a characteristic that builds or destroys trust in the learners’ minds or hearts. Learners know when a story is fabricated or when they are true. This impacts believability and applicability of the learning ideas. It becomes a crucial problem in eLearning design, because learners only interface with what we show and tell electronically.

How do we develop eLearning content that teaches content yet is also short, concise, snappy, fast and instant?
