"As an industry, we have spent a great deal of time talking about whether organizations can provide learning fast enough.," writes Elizabeth Loutfi-Hipchen. "I think we may be asking the wrong question. The issue increasingly isn't access to learning. It is whether people and organizations have the capacity to absorb what we are asking them to learn and turn it into performance." I think this is a good point. It may force a shift in how we think about learning from 'just in case' to 'just in time' (I know, this has been said before, but few have taken it seriously). Loufti-Hipchen expresses it this way: "This changes the goal of personalization. We are no longer trying to create an elaborate individual curriculum for every employee. We are trying to find the shortest credible path between current capability and required performance." This is a good discussion of the need with steps toward a response.
