5. Workplace Trends Progressive organizations see the direct relationship of learning to the bottom line
Education and training are expanding throughout the global work force
Learning is increasingly on-line
Coursework is becoming anywhere and at anytime
Tomorrow’s classified ads may read “wanted flexible, creative, and good with people.” Some jobs that are highly compensated today but that are routinized or use highly standardized procedures, will be done at a distance by well-educated workers willing to do the job for less pay. The most attractive jobs in the future require flexibility, creativity, lifelong learning, and require interaction with other people, according to Levy and Murnane in their book “The New Division of Labor: How Computers Are Creating the Next Job Market” by McGraw-Hill, © 2004.
This global marketplace means that customers will want access around the clock. Will IEEE have coverage 24x7?
Education and training are expanding throughout the work force and members will IEEE to help them “keep up with the field.”
The half-life of an engineer’s knowledge is estimated to be five years, in 10 years 90% of what an engineer knows will be available on the computer. [World Future Society, 2003]
60% of future jobs will require training that only 20% of the current U.S. work force possesses. [Workforce 2020 : Work and Workers in the 21st Century]
Specialization is spreading throughout industry and the professions — the size of the body of knowledge required to excel in a particular area precludes excellence across all disciplines. Organizations will depend on teams of task-focused, project-specific specialists. Few people will have permanent jobs. The use of independent specialists, consultants and contractors will increase. [World Future Society, 2003]
The global reach of businesses is causing a shift in the source of competitive pressure, and of competitive advantage, from excellence at the point of production — now more or less assumed — toward excellence in governing spatially dispersed networks of plants, affiliates and suppliers. [The Technology Industry at an Innovation Crossroads, Electronic Industry Alliance, 2004.] The top jobs will go to people who manage the large, complex adaptive systems for business.
IEEE members will need new “adaptation” skills to help deal with the complexity. The integration of cell phones, video, and the Internet will grow and globalization will accelerate.

6. Business Rationale The e-learning market, which was about $10.5 billion in 2005, will increase to more than $21 billion by 2008. [Source: IDC]
Companies are opting for e-learning over more traditional learning due to the
Increasing mobility of the workforce
Need to save on training costs
Greater acceptance of Web-based training & better interoperability of systems
