Abstract :
The success of distance learning programs is highly dependent on the organizational environment in which they are implemented. This paper discusses how one large organization implemented and evolved a global distance learning program. The primary focus of this paper is the extraction of the perceived benefits and lessons learned during the development and use of this distance learning program. The lessons learned are generalizable and can be transferred to other organizations with appropriate attention to organizational context and environment
