COVID19 has changed the world of training seemingly overnight.
🌟 LIVE online training / events are expected to become the ‘norm’.🌟
Lower costs, no commute time, travel restrictions, working from home, risk mitigation, the flexibility for companies to work with the best in the world and for facilitators/trainers to have a sustainable business are just some of the reasons why.
Prior to COVID ‘online training’ generally meant prerecorded content or one way webinars. The market was becoming saturated with ‘content’ being more important than engagement and outcomes. Now the tide has turned.
Facilitators/trainers will need to develop a new skill set. The skill of delivering LIVE engaging outcome driven training online. Throughout ‘lockdown’ new benchmarks have been developing and the bar contiues rise.
I am currently part of a team that is researching the impact of COVID19 on face to face and online training. The feedback is fascinating and I look forward to sharing it soon.
