Planning For Success: An Introduction To eLearning Costs And How To Reduce Them
Minimizing the costs of training so that training ROI improves becomes a real pain point for training managers. Especially when a small budget seems to leave you with few options apart from a generic and unengaging classroom workshop.

You see, trying to cut down by creating a one-size-fits-all program usually leaves learners pondering how relevant the content is to their roles and career ambitions. And cramming a year’s training into three full days just leaves them feeling exhausted and overwhelmed. The result? Real learning takes a back seat, and the financial investment (albeit small) just doesn’t pay off. That’s probably what Benjamin Franklin meant when he once said that “an investment in knowledge pays the best interest”. He wasn’t far wrong. But really, training and development isn’t like investing in a savings account. It’s more like paying for rent. Because just like a home is a necessity (rather than a ‘nice to have’), training is necessary for business growth.
