Abstract: â€œPeople are our most important assetsâ€. Intellectual capital has become the primary factor of production. To raise their â€œcorporate IQâ€, managers treat workers as if they were customers of learning. This article explores why people learn much more about their jobs in the coffee room than in the classroom. It hypothesizes that equipping people intellectually to prosper will become a corporate discipline every bit as important as marketing or finance. Web services will mark the advent of workflow learning in real-time organizations.

Jay Cross has an interesting way of explaining his ideas. Rather than using technical jargons, Jay uses simple language to forcefully put forward the future of eLearning. According to him, for eLearning to be successfully, it has to embrace informal peer-to-peer training. Such peer-to-peer training requires good network and interoperatibility between eLearning systems
