He notes that nearly every organization outsources some aspect of their training operations and offers us a set of best practices on how to determine what should be outsourced and how to select the right partners. Doug also shares with us TrainingIndustry.com’s insight on corporate spend for learning technologies in the coming years – he sees authoring platforms and portals for the aggregation of user-generated content achieving the most growth.
