Positioning to Prove Value
Management views “training” in 3 ways:
1. Necessary, expected training (e.g. job training and development)
2. Measuring impact of major investments (e.g. “training” as a component)
3. Investing in major elements of training (e.g. e-learning infrastructure)
“Investments”?
How do your leaders refer to...
Please share your answers…
Leader’s View of “Investment”
Physical assets? (e.g. buildings/machinery)
Intangible assets? (e.g. patents, goodwill)
➔ Does “training” have tangible investments?
➔ Does “training” contribute to long-term value?

E/M-learning increases fixed costs
Question to ask:
What extent will e-learning contribute to production/profit?
To leaders this means:• Increase revenue (units sold)
• Reduce variable costs
E-Learning Example: FinaX Inc.
• Variable cost: $120 each unitManagement’s question:
Should we spend $60,000 for e-learning?
• Selling 4000 units for $200/each
• Current fixed costs: $200,000
FinaX Inc. sells AccountX Software
• New E-learning course: $60,000
• Post course sales incr.: 700 units
• E-learning is a fixed cost
E-Learning Example: FinaX Inc.
