What should we do?
Where to go. That’s where I was this morning, actually the day before. Normally, I have an idea of what to write. Other times, an epiphany that zings into my brain on the day of the post. Then there are “this is what I will write” only to change my mind at the last second.…
Let the Rants Begin – Learning System Edition
If anyone has had a concussion and then suffered through post-concussion, you will likely bounce over onto the internet and see all those “medical experts”. Apparently, it can be resolved in one month. Wait, no, three months. Hold on. Perhaps a year or more. For me, it has lasted nearly three months, which allows one…
Info you need to know – To Boost Success
I moved several months ago. I didn’t know what to expect in my town. I fell in love with the mountain views, having the extensive property in the desert. I was anticipating the summer, the intense heat (which actually isn’t that bad), I knew what I thought I knew. Then the deer started to appear.…
Get Your Red Hot Skills Functionality
Which came first? The chicken or dinner at KFC? Knowledge or Skill building and development? Skills today are super hot and as a few readers mentioned the other day on LinkedIn, it is not new. Yes, there have been systems with skills frameworks and skills tied to career development (but I’d argue more with TM/PM…
Reader’s Mailbag – You Ask, I Respond
I started up again, a reader’s mailbag where you can submit questions to me. This new version (debut here), is based on questions I have received via social media, email direct, and my website. Before diving into the Q/A, for those who are interested but unaware, I know have a LinkedIn Group, called E-Learning Coach,…
Knowledge Acquisition? Skill Develop? Go COP
Routines. We all have them. It may be as simple as drinking coffee each morning, watching the news. Perhaps, it is having tea, reading the latest news on the Internet or in the newspaper. We can’t seem to break this routine. We may try to mix it up, and there are days where we can’t…
Employees and Your Learning System
The other day, I went to Tombstone, the tourist trap of the Old West. Of all the amazing things you can see, and get, uh, ripped off (when did the Old West start pricing a meal like it was Vegas?), was the number of reenactors, walking around. I should note, that there is one street,…
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…
Customer Excellence Pledge
Everyone knows that support in the learning system space as a whole is below average. Sure there are vendors who do an exceptional job, but the fact still remains that the number one reason, people leave one learning system vendor for another is support/service. This isn’t new. It has been the same issue for nearly…
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…
