Every organization, large or small, expends time and resources in training its partners, vendors, and customers. This is only natural, since it is in the best interest of any organization that its product or service be optimally deployed or consumed. When the value and utility of a company's offering becomes fully appreciated by all stakeholders, then the road to success in marketing and selling becomes that much smoother. In spite of this being common knowledge, training efforts are often less than fruitful because a company's partner or vendor education organization is either loosely structured or not leveraged to its full potential. Training efforts therefore tend to pack a lighter punch than they should, or could. With the right knowledge and insights, companies can streamline processes, increase revenues, and reduce expenses for their customer and partner education organization. In their latest book, "#SUCCESSFUL CORPORATE LEARNING tweet Book01: Profitable Training by Optimizing Your Customer and Partner Education Organization," corporate veterans "Terry Lydon" and "Mitchell Levy" show you the path to profitable training. Among the wisdom they share are ways to streamline communications and document and measure goals for your organization. Their ready-to-action insights touch upon niche areas like innovative incentives, which could include tying satisfaction surveys to bonuses. As the authors show, several functions in a training department tend to be repetitive, including scheduling resources, communicating with customers, and reporting, and it can take some dogged detective work to identify them all. If you can streamline some or all of these repetitive areas, then it frees executives up for more strategic tasks, such as marketing or sales initiatives. "#SUCCESSFUL CORPORATE LEARNING tweet: Profitable Training by Optimizing Your Customer and Partner Education Organization" is presented in the accessible and increasingly popular tweet format, a format that allows its readers to pick up bits and pieces of "profitable training" and immediately start to achieve great results.

Business savvy does not mean a bagful of academic credentials, nor does it necessarily equate to a good deal of experience. Voegtli explains that a business savvy project leader is one who becomes an advocate for the project from the perspective of its end customers and its business value to the company and establishes herself or himself as leader from the starting line.

In our modern, often volatile economy, we can no longer expect permanent or long term employment with any one employer. Today's worker has, on average, multiple jobs and even multiple careers. Layoffs, terminations, and pink slips are so universal that they are now euphemistically called downsizing or rightsizing. But whatever the label, the process is no easier to deal with--not for the employee whose services are being terminated nor for the organization and executives who initiate the termination. Fortunately, there is a silver lining to all this turbulence, and that is that the concept of career transition is here to stay. Career transition is the process by which the terminating organization assists terminated employees with making the transition and often helps in the search for new employment. While the benefits to the employee are apparent, what is less clear are the benefits to the company effecting the downsizing. Career transition helps displaced employees understand the business reasons for tough corporate decisions. By keeping such displaced, often disgruntled, employees focused on their own future, it shifts attention away from personal negatives like depression and greater ills like expensive lawsuits. Strategic and compassionate career transition services have therefore become part of today's corporate environment. In "#SUCCESSFUL CORPORATE LEARNING tweet Book04: Career Transition Training and Services That Work in Today's Environment" career transition expert "Barbara Safani" collaborates with Amazon best-selling author "Mitchell Levy" to show you how to make the career transition journey a little bit easier. A worthy read for any mid- or senior-level executive who is faced either directly or indirectly with the prospect of downsizing, this little volume packs a punch well above its weight. It will help you and your organization manage a difficult downsizing process smoothly, while preserving your company's reputation and treating displaced employees with dignity and respect.
