A.I., XR, Digital Twin – Which will drive Learning Technology?
“It’s a terrible product.” “None of us were like, this is really useful.” Those two statements are from the co-founders of OpenAI, who have created the hottest generative AI tool: ChatGPT. The solution as it exists right now, is a serious work in progress. Numerous articles have been published showing its shortcomings, from “declaring love…
Understanding MCP: The Universal Remote for AI
I’ve written in the past about MCP (Model Context Protocol) for learning and training (via learning systems), albeit a link to a highly confusing and yet the best version of explanation on the net. MCP, which I will use going forward, is best in explanation to something everyone else can relate to. Let’s say back…
When those not in L&D or Training are overseeing your learning system
When your car needs repairs, who do you go and see? Likely a mechanic who has the knowledge and expertise (you hope) to solve it. When you have an issue with your lights at your home, who do you call? An electrician, who has the knowledge and expertise, oh and skills to solve it. Your…
The Latest – Talent Development Platforms
Back in January (2021), I wrote about the Talent Development Platform market and how I identified what is a TDP, among other items. In March (2021), I identified where the Corporate Learning System market is heading, including the identification of three groups that will define the segments. Both of these items are mentioned because they…
The Future of Work and E-Learning
The future of work. It’s being pushed out everywhere you turn. How COVID19 will speed up the future of work. How COVID19 is changing the future of work. How the future of work is a digital one, which is the next industrial revolution. You hear about companies applying the future of work, by allowing some…
Enterprise Learning Systems – What does that really mean?
Enterprise. The term, is ambiguous in its nature. What does a company who themselves may refer to as an “Enterprise” really mean exactly? Is it based on the number of employees? Or setup of operations? Multiple locations and LOBs (or divisions)? Is it all the above, none of the above, something totally different? Trying to…
Three Takeaways Today
Hodgepodge. It’s a nice word, and one that truly reflects this post. I could have gone one route, or selected another or even a third way, but after deep consideration, okay, five minutes, I decided on this way – three takeaways in one article. Do they have anything in common with one another? Seriously? It’s…
Learning System TrailBlazers – Who’s Next?
This past week on LinkedIn I wrote about four trailblazers in the early days of the industry, learning systems – and what made them special (one has since hit speed bump), and four who trailblazed and then hit a major speed bump into, well, lost their way. The latter included an authoring tool, too. Numerous…
R U Asking the Right Questions to your content provider?
I’m the worst when it comes to questions. I often will ask way too many questions to a vendor, regardless of if they are a learning system, e-learning solution, other providers or a 3rd party publisher. I will usually say, okay this is the last question, then follow-up with another question. Perhaps it is a…
2020 – The Year of the Hub
Initially I was going to write about my forecasts for 2020. Then I realized that the post would mainly focus on one major trend that will impact the space in such a way (good, I believe), and thus as a result, decided to hold off on my forecasts for 2020 – until Oct. As part…
