Rhema likes to keep itself well-informed about the issues and ideas which are on the minds (and the desks) of our clients, and as part of that process we read what you read.

The Learning and Development sector is well served by a range of professional publications. These continually cover a wide variety of topics, rather than having one dominant subject at any given time – other than major news stories. As well as being interesting, this variety points to the breadth of skills and specialisations within the human resource development community.

However, currently` there is one theme which notably occurs in most issues of most publications, and it is easy to understand why. It is the increasing use of technology in delivering learning solutions. As this latest issue of the Rhema Newsletter shows, our own experience as a long-established supplier of learning and development solutions supports the view that this is a hot topic.

There is no doubt that technology and human resource development are increasingly merging, making it ever easier for HR professionals to address key issues such as Emotional Intelligence and Knowledge Enhancement regardless of where the learner is located.

We warmly welcome Professor Steve Molyneux, leading expert on e-learning – one of the few people who genuinely deserves the description ‘revered’ in his field – who will be working very closely with us on global strategies for technologies in learning and development. He will ally his enormous knowledge and experience in this field to Rhema’s development of e-learning as an increasingly important element of blended learning and development solutions.

Steve has written the regular Big Issue feature in this newsletter and there is more about the work he will be doing with Rhema contained in this issue.

And as this newsletter announces, Rhema has formed new strategic partnerships to offer excellent uses of technology for online appraisals and employee surveys.

We’re also very happy to announce that the thoughtful, highly-regarded and innovative coaching expertise of Paul Anderson-Walsh is now embraced by the Rhema team of consultants. Paul has been assisting us as an associate for some time, earning our respect and affection as well as that of our clients with whom he has worked. He has recently joined us as a senior consultant, bringing all the experience and fresh thinking that his CV indicates. See Rhema People, below.

There is plenty of other news in this edition of The Eye about new Rhema people and projects, and as always The Eye has solid information and some fresh ideas to offer HR professionals and their organisations. The navigation around our e-zine and the main newsletter is simple and we are finding that there is growing professional interest in the content.
