Learning System Buyer’s Guide
I love buyer’s guides. There is something about gaining insight and knowledge around various products or offerings when you either have limited or zero-knowledge around these items, but you want to purchase one at some point. The problem today is when you surf the web, you see all these guides written by content marketers, not…
Did you know? Learning Systems Vol 3
LMS aka Learning Management System. LXP – Learning Experience Platform. Learning Platform. Cohort-based learning platform. Employee Experience Platform (bad name for it). Employee Development Platform. There is a lot there for types of systems as I have noted before.

Home Built or Commercial for your Learning System
There are two types of learning systems. I’m not talking about an LMS, LXP, combo, TDP, or EXP (drop the name on that), learning platform, or “We are not an LMS, and anyway, they are a dying breed” (I’ve written that is far from true). What I am referring to, is commercial or in-house. In-house…
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…
