| In today’s
competitive environment, changing learner demands mean you need
to develop new programs at an astounding rate. Up to 30% of your
offerings every year should be brand new, say the experts.
Every organization has
to be continually developing new programs. And in today’s rapidly
shifting society, your customers’ interests are changing even
more quickly as they try to keep up with and respond to the changes
in their economic and social environment.
That means you have to
offer even more new programs right now. And you have to do it
with the same staff and resources. You can’t afford to waste valuable
staffing hours on programs that don’t succeed. And you can’t afford
your own R&D department. But not just any new programs will
do. They must be successful new programs, because with the fiscal
demands being placed on your organization, you can’t afford “trial
and error.”
Who Should Attend?
Any professional involved in lifelong learning programming should
attend, including those involved in developing courses, seminars,
conferences, classes, events, and other educational programs.
Participants will come

recreation departments, other nonprofit organizations and from
the private sector.
