Stop relying solely on aggregators — go direct…
Workflow Automation – Administrators needed?
Workflow Automation is a hot word in the SaaS industry, especially with any solution. It is especially on fire – okay, starting to catch a blaze in the learning system segment and even HCM.

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.

The Latest Insight – Learning Systems
Musings. Over the past few months, I’ve been testing different types of posts, zeroing in on multiple subjects that I find interesting, or that could be of interest, and that are definitely of value to the blog’s readers. Some I see as strong, others clearly have reached the dud level. I’ve always been a risk…
