In the beginning…
e-Learning’s Early ‘Returns’
31% fail to register for compulsory e-Learning
68% fail to register for voluntary e-Learning
Drop-out rates 50% to 80% are not uncommon
“For learners, how extensively the course was marketed
and promoted was the single most influential factor for
increasing the likelihood that learners would begin the
course.”
Lance & Jay ask…
 How do we prepare the organization to not
only install, but also then implement and
ultimately institutionalize e-learning ?
 How can we make it more likely learners
will come? And complete what they start?
And come back for more?

Overall: Lessons Learned
It’s about business, not training
It’s about learning, not technology
It’s about people, learners/customers &
stakeholders/organizations
It’s about marketing &
change management!
Why is this important now?
1. Large investments at stake
2. Many people are skeptical
3. Achieving results mandatory
4. If you make it/buy it,
• learners better use it
• organizations better embrace it
Ask and answer questions about marketing and change management.
Thank you. Let’s stay in touch!
