Applying Technology at Work

I keep thinking about my role at work, especially in light of what I'm learning in this program. Where will all this lead to in two or three years. Will I become an expert in educational technology or will I continue in more traditional instructional design?

All the reading and the reflection on the pros and cons of technology is driving me to think about the future of training at my work. Will Amgen move toward a more dynamic learner centered training, or will it remain trapped in traditional ILT and OJT? I believe the transition will happen and that the future is descending quickly in my field. However, will we ever move toward a true DLC? Can I move the organization in that direction? Can I connect individual so that knowledge can be shared? It is exciting to think of the opportunities and the challenge.

I catch myself falling more on the "con" side of technology in both TI and Bb. Why is that? Is it my apprehension with using technology in training lead to this criticism, or is it that I avoid risk in certain area? I believe it is a little of both. What I want is to be a leader, to risk, and to chart a new course for training at Amgen. I want to move to the "pro" side of the discussion. I know with a little faith and hard work I can get there!
