Editor's note
=============
The idea that learning and development specialists should use
internal marketing to increase uptake of training is not new,
but this week on TrainingZONE Piers Lea and Patrick Dunn take
the concept a stage further. Using key marketing concepts Piers
and Patrick explain how we can better understand the needs,
reactions and commitment of learners and in turn tailor learning
to their needs. While this feature specifically addresses e-
learning, Piers and Patrick's tips could easily be applied to
other areas of learning.
