What I have Learned (in the last 2mths)
The old adage, take time to smell the roses, I always found odd. I mean I understand its “meaning”, but I thought to myself, who has the time, to just sit back, relax and well, smell flowers – besides say my late Diego (dog) and now sometimes Cali (dog) who I think is really smelling…
Learning Systems RFP and Tier4 NexGen
EXTRA! EXTRA! Read all about it, that is what the kid on the street corner back in the 1800s and early 1900s would shout to get your attention to buy the latest penny press. If you have ever seen “Newsies” and I am personally sorry if you did, they show a perfect example. I note…
Association Learning System Rankings
Welcome, welcome, welcome. Helping me with today’s post is Voodoo, who is sitting, looking out the window, Spirit who is snoozing by me, and Cali, who is somewhere, no doubt exploring how to dig holes and chase squirrels. Yes, a very eventful day. Best of all, this home workforce acts as a security company for…
LMS or LXP – Confused?
In the past few months, pre-pandemic and in our current state, I’ve been hearing from a lot of people on the consumer side (i.e. not suppliers), on what they are seeking in a learning system, often noting the LMS and an LXP. Some want a hybrid of the two, others want features that they believe…
Learning System Mkt. Forecasts
I’d love to tell you that the forecasts below are all happy stardust and puppies, but the fact is, well they are not. A few have the potential to switch from a negative to positive, others well, it comes down to a variety of variables, now that we are all in this together (the Pandemic). …

2019 Turkey Awards
Welcome. Welcome to the annual Turkey Awards. Last year’s 2018 Awards were all the rage. Truly coveted by those in the know, who know, they really shouldn’t be in the e-learning industry. In 2018, we also had the Worst Awards (after all, way too many best out there), but for 2019, the Turkey Awards combine…
Gender Inequality at the Executive Level in the Learning System Market
We have a problem. It appears everywhere you go in the learning system space. It is something in one way you wouldn’t expect in 2019, and yet in another way, based upon other industries such as tech, it is in alignment, and not in a plus perspective. What I am referring to is gender at…
Halloween Edition – Tricks and Treats
As a kid growing up, our house had a lot of pictures of clowns. Framed no less, some innocent enough, others downright weird. When the movie Poltergeist came out with the clown part in it, yeah, that was it for me. From that moment on, clowns were not my friends. Nowadays, frightening clowns are everywhere. …
Top 85 Learning Systems for 2020
85. That sounds about right. Initially the list was 100, but culling has begun and for some, that meant, well, why be an “in the box” kind of the person, when being a bit “outside” of the box is so much more fun. 85. It does seem like such a large number, but when you…
