They must assess and adapt to the learning needs of individuals periodically.<\/p>\n<h3>Domain expertise<\/h3>\n<p>Deep and extensive domain expertise can be combined with gamification<em> for e-learning. <\/em><\/p>\n<p>The dual edge of specialised knowledgebase and trainers can unlock the true potential of learners.<\/p>\n<h3>Drive innovation<\/h3>\n<p>The frequent emergence of new technologies is driven by disruptive innovation. <em>Corporate learning and development programs<\/em> can equip teams with newer skills. These can, in turn, drive innovation and growth.<\/p>\n<h3>Motivated performance<\/h3>\n<p>An L&amp;D culture in organisations usually leads to healthy competition.
