How Students that Complete OEM's
Lean101 Online Course, Can Boost Company Performance?
We all know that education can boost
individual job performance. But can it boost organizational performance
as well? Consider this: Most of us will spend three times as many
years learning during our working lives as we spent preparing for
them. And with some researchers estimating as many as 11 job changes
in a typical adult working life, training has become the currency
of job advancement in both the public and private sectors.
- At the current growth rate, corporate
learning organizations, now numbering more than 2,000, will exceed
the number of traditional universities by 2010.
- Today's business and government
leaders know that to achieve growth and innovation, and to attract
and retain the best people, learning is an essential engine of productivity
and competitive advantage.
