Issue: How can enterprises take advantage of new ways to share knowledge?

Summary: Video learning is becoming one of the fastest-growing uses for video content in enterprises. Business leaders looking to transfer knowledge have to leverage video.

Why is the demand for video learning increasing?

Enterprises have begun to realize that traditional learning methods are inadequate to meet the increasing need for knowledge transfer.

That knowledge is better ‘caught than taught,’ and video is the best way to do that because it has the unique ability to show rather than tell people how something is done.
