This week I attended the Learning Technology Exhibition and Conference in London.  These are my thoughts from the day that I spent there.

Season 18 of The Apprentice started on BBC1 recently and as usual, I will be watching and laughing along.  While it may style itself as a business show, it is first and foremost entertainment.  That being said, there are still things that we can learn from it.

Season 18 of The Apprentice started on BBC1 last week and as usual, I will be watching and laughing along.  While it may style itself as a business show, it is first and foremost entertainment.  That being said, there are still things that we can learn from it. Here’s my review of each episode.

Yesterday I spent some time at the World of Learning Summit in London. While not desperately well attended or inspiring, there were definitely some nuggets of interest on the exhibition floor.

Increased profits are usually the objective for every company.  There are a number of ways that this can be achieved but the most simple and effective way is to close more deals using your existing sales team.  However, they need to improve their efficiency and so require regular training in order to achieve this.

A recent talk at an exhibition got me thinking about what you can learn in one day and why continuous learning is so important.

Over the last few weeks, I have ran a couple of polls about how often people do sales training or should do sales training.  The overwhelming response was that it should be done every year.  However, I know for a fact that not every organisation does this so I then investigated why.  These are the results.

Continuous training is important for a company’s overall performance. If you want to be a high growth company, or just keep the profits that you currently have, investment in training for your staff is a simple way to achieve this.
