Recession update:

Do nothing until registrations drop
Programs doing continuing professional education and meetings seem to be doing well, while community programs are seeing more downturns in registrations and income.
Do nothing until your registrations drop.  Then look to LERN and employ smart strategies.

Focus on winners.
Drop the losers
Do not cut brochure distribution.

More recommendations coming in our special recession issue of your LERN newsletter. Or visit the LERN Library in your LERN Club. Lean on LERN in tough times.

“The LERN Institutes were amazing. Well worth the investment,” said Anne Cave, right, of Auckland, New Zealand.  Anne is comparing great scarfs with LERN consultant Julia King Tamang at our winter institutes last month.  For info on our Summer Institutes, click here.
Do Divisional analysis

Look at your courses, events and programs by division (same subject, format or audience). Then analyze cancellation rate, average participants per class, and average fee. When you do, you’ll find out where you should be offering new courses, where to cut back, and in what areas to offer more courses. Divisional analysis is key to improved performance.

WebConference a hit!

More than 500 LERN members and customers participated in our first annual WebConference earlier this month.
The 15 audio presentations and discussions were a big hit.
LERN will sponsor this free event for members again next year.
