Title	Format	Summary	Intended Audience
About Information Technology, IT Architecture and Project Management
"Learning Organizations, Work Flow and IT"	Voice Over get PDF here	Organizations use a wide variety of computer business applications to do their day to day business. Automated business work flow capture and "hide" reasons for the sequence of events and reasons for decisions at particular points in this sequence in computer code. Automated business work flows are a "knowledge sink". When changes are made to the automated work flow, management and staff need to be "reminded" of the underlying business rules which have been captured in the automation code, and the reasons for change. As a result, there is a need for a careful integration between what the IT professionals and the Talent Development / Learning Professionals in the organization are doing. Changes to business work flows need to be tightly coupled to the roll out of organizational change related learning. But this need is not well recognized, resulting in a loss of money, de-motivation and missed opportunity in most modern organizations.
