Wasting the Web in Enterprise Support

May 14, 2009 by admin

There is so much great on-line training for people who wish to start, or are thinking about starting, or are looking to develop and existing business.  I wonder why we don’t encourage our clients to make more use of it.  (Could it be because we are too focused on bums on OUR seats and hits to OUR websites).

On-line learning does not suit everybody – and much of it does originate from the USA – but it is a wonderful resource that the engaged and committed would use AND it can be a tremendous vehicle for establishing client commitment and learning styles.

Here is a page with 85 FREE online learning resources for entrepreneurs.

Wouldn’t it be great if advisers and coaches could use on-line learning management systems with a  full range of on-line and off-line resources that allowed us to help clients to manage their own learning – and ensure that what we taught actually was correlated with later success?

If we could help connect would be entrepreneurs with sources of advice and support through social media networks.

If we could provide regular ‘nudges’ and opportunities to engage through applications like Twitter and Facebook?

When I was looking at this a few (10?) years back the technology was expensive and unreliable.  Now most of it is free/low cost AND more or less ubiquitous.  Most of the publicly funded business support sector is so digitally illiterate (the ranks are not exactly swollen with digital natives) and focused on old bums on seats/intensive assists metrics that I don’t expect a web 2.0 revolution in this sector anytime soon.

Anyone up for a Digital Britain?
