Who should read this report

Executives need to know what's really going on in the eLearning marketplace and what is likely to take place in the next several years. They must understand the context of eLearning-where it's come from and what the industry has learned about the bigger picture. They need to differentiate great applications that boost competitive advantage from ho-hum approaches that automate what hasn't worked before.

If your organization is pouring hundreds of thousands of dollars into eLearning, and you consider yourself more a businessperson than a techie or trainer, this report is for you.

We aim to improve the decision-making capability of:

• Corporate chief learning officers, chief information officers, and chief knowledge officers
• Senior HR and Training executives
• CXOs concerned with increasing the value of human capital to their business
• Consultants who advise on and implement eLearning
• Investors and analysts grappling with the question of eLearning's market potential
• Leaders of eLearning vendor companies
  

When eLearning does work, its effects on workforce performance can be startling-and we believe the foundations that will unleash its true potential are just now being laid. It is our ambition to help the reader understand what the key success drivers will be of the truly powerful eLearning solutions that will begin appearing in 2002 and 2003, and reach fruition in 2004 and 2005.
