Before diving into this week’s post, many of you saw on my LinkedIn thread that I suffered another concussion. One minute I was thinking about my recent trip to Mexico, and the next, I heard/felt the back of my head hitting my cement driveway (and yes, I had a CT scan – all good). The…

What is about top 10 lists? Besides the fact that when you seek out the “best whatever” you can be inundated with top lists, all of which are affiliate links (the tiny words, “we may receive a commission” – which says in reality, “if you buy any, we have an affiliate link attached to it,…

Let the sunshine in. Let the sunshine in. Oh, let it in, fa, la, la. I bet that is the first time you have seen a mashup between music from Hair (great musical, bad movie) and a holiday tune. It’s a perfect segue into the 2023, Learning System Awards. Why announce the winners in December…

Hits. These are the capabilities, ideas, components, even messaging that scored well in 2022.

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…

Before diving into the forecasts for 2023, one must examine a few trends that appeared over the summer of 2022. A couple of vendors saw a couple of these trends, but for the most part based on numerous discussions, the masses saw pieces never realizing it was all, as they say – whoever came up…

Hummingbird. For whatever reason, I have a hummingbird that is a feeder snob. They won’t use the bigger container of nectar, oh no, they want the small one – made for one. When it is out, I swear it gives me a look multiple times from my window, waiting for a refill, as if they…
