ASTD Conference in Vegas
I gave the keynote this morning at the ASTD TechKnowledge Conference in Las Vegas. Session was opened by Tony Bingham, CEO of ASTD, with a very good overview of the strategic place of training and skill-building now, in the new post-recession world. If all his surveys quoted are valid indicators (can't fault the sources), looks like gangbusters for real education delivery for knowledge workers in the coming years... I had a great time, seemed to go over well, reminding people of how some of the real process issues organizationally translate back to personal process issues of mid- to senior-level people, and that those can be dealt with. Of course, a la GTD....
Then had a fruitful cup of coffee with my friend Mike Flanagan, now VP of consulting services of Intrepid (formerly LGuide), a champion of our stuff, and a great friend-of-the-court to us as a resource for info about that whole big world of distributed education...
Back in Ojai, and it was a gorgeous sunset...

This is the first time I've come across the expression 'post-recession world'. A quick google tells me it's not new, but, uh-oh, hearing the phrase makes me want to batten down my financial hatches!
A post-recession world is also a pre-recession world.

I loved your ASTD presentation. Is there any way to get audio of it? (MP3 or iTunes?) I looked around the ASTD site, but no dice. I really want to pass your talk around to collegues at worka nd beyond.
