Hi Lee! Thank you for such a detailed and insightful pitch for your venture Flytguide. It is evident with all of your research, thoughtful rationale and informed market analysis that you’ve put in the work for this solution to the very real problem of the “shrinking half-life of knowledge/skills” in the corporate world (and beyond). From my perspective, when I was an Ed Tech teacher for my previous employer and in my present profession, your venture is a much needed addition to the fabric of any forward-thinking institution. As you need it learning, incorporated into the “flow of work” is the way to go. As an EVA, judging from your rock-solid rationale, the fact that, as Josh Bersin quotes: “The corporate L&D industry is over $140 billion in size”, and your credibility as an entrepreneur and practitioner, I’d invest!

Hey Melissa, thanks for reviewing and sharing your feedback. I'm excited about the path ahead as industry looks at better ways to learn. I can remember heading off to week long courses (and later on building such courses). Today, two-days of training gets push-back. And, even with shrinking the investment, it is tough to connect that training back to immediate impact (the j-curve at a minimum raises an issue). Learning in the flow of work, gaming, social, mobile, AI, etc. all speak to new activities that we'll want to recognize (and analyze).
