How to decide if this book is right for you.

This book is for you if you've found yourself wondering:

Where will the opportunities be?
What should I reflect on and study to stay current?
How can I advise others, such as instructors?
What kinds of skills, knowledge, perspectives and alliances will be required?
What is great training? Isn't great training what it has always been?
Is the classroom dead?
Must I become a web developer? Must we all become web developers?
What difference will all this technology make?
How can I play a role in turning hype into reality?
What does all the talk about performance mean for me and my colleagues?
How can I explain all this to my customers? How can I position and educate them?
How do I plan more effectively for my unit, organization and self?

This book is for you if the people around you are saying:

What difference does training make?
Why don't we just change your title from trainers to performance technologists?
Pick a learning portal and get back to me with your recommendations.
Pick a learning management system and get back to me with your recommendations.
Why are you talking to me about this other stuff? Just train them. That's what we've always done. That's what they expect and like.
Shouldn't you be doing more than just classes?
What else could you be doing?
How can we capture more of the smarts of our people? I'm concerned because we're losing so many to retirement, and to other companies.
What is it you folks have been doing?
How do we enhance informal learning here?
I went to a conference and really liked what they said about knowledge management. How can we use that in what we do?
Can we move 75% of the training to the web by the third quarter? If not then, when?
In a nutshell, whatís happening in training and development that can help us here?
