Over the past few years, a number of commercial and government organizations have recognized the need to create a manageable learning enterprise for a number of efficiency and effectiveness reasons.  This recognition has led to a number of innovative approaches and applications of integrated learning “ecosystems.” While the components of learning ecosystems can vary in several key ways, the potential for a more integrated and managed approach to learning, at scale, appears to be substantial.

This Focus Event includes several panelists who have developed and are current using and growing learning ecosystems of their own. They will describe their drivers for creating their ecosystem and what were the criteria they used to determine the key aspects and emphases of people, content, technology, assessment, and management in their effort.  Others might be considering such an endeavor and do not know where to start or what the key components of a functioning, sustainable ecosystem need to be.

Our SMEs will describe their development process, the aspects and features they wanted to include and what they see as their successes to date and lessons they have learned from the work so far. Finally, what are their recommendations for others who are thinking about creating their own organizations learning ecosystem.
