After reading a recent article in Chief Learning Officer about "Short-Shelf-Life Learning", I am convinced that an effective LMS, like TrainingForce, is the solution.  The article chronicles the difficulties of creating, implementing, and executing timely training or learning opportunities for our current volatile economy.  The author correctly attributes the majority of the problem to the delay in execution of any given learning program.  From the discovery stage, where a company or institution recognizes a need for training, to the delivery stage, where that training is actually completed, is, too often too late.  The problem has either grown in scope and depth or has morphed into something else, something the newly designed learning program is not designed to address. Houston, we have a problem.  But I believe the solution is as simple as an effective LMS, like TrainingForce.  With Training Force you are able to design specific learning programs that encompass many needs or quickly roll out a course to address something more pressing.  This system allows you to create a variety of programs using a variety of resources.  Your students, instructors, and other staff members will thrive under the effectiveness of this LMS.  "Short-Shelf-Life Learning" will no longer be an issue.
