I am down in Little Rock about to embark on three fun-filled days recording segments for the corporate training site GenoNow. I will be making product training episodes for Dillard’s Department Store. These segments will be in their “walled garden”, and not for public consumption, but the exciting part is that it give Dillard’s a way to push this high-level product training all the way down to its employees.
Communication is always a tough thing in a large organization, anyone who has played the game Phone Booth can tell you that. Not only do messages get tangled in translation, but it also costs a lot. GenoNow answers that problem by making these videos to all interested a la YouTube. Companies can put their private content in their own private area, and corporate trainers who are interested in a wider audience can put content on the site where it is visible by all visitors.
GenoNow has public facing content also. With subjects ranging from Dressing for Success for women in the work place to managing change in an organization. There is some free content available so you can see how it works, but we believe it can be a real life saver for the human resource manager looking for a cost-effective way to train an ever-spreading and diverse workforce.
If you are interested in what I am up to these days, you can check out our site. It’s pretty exciting. Who knew that there would ever be an Internet start-up in Arkansas, not exactly a hotbed for technology, but here we are.
