LMS

There is nothing more bothersome than when a vendor tells someone that an LMS is traditional. From there, the term is now placed on the list between scary monsters in your closet and scary monsters under your bed, and a clown watching you while you sleep. When vendors say “traditional,” they often mean an outdated…

In the past month or so, I recognize and see more and more of AI and how it will become so intertwined with any type of learning system, that what you – the vendor and you – the L&D, Training, CLO, HR professionals, plus C-Suite will drastically change. The question is whether you (the latter…

There’s an old saying that one award is just like another. Wait, there isn’t? Okay, well, a lot of folks, for whatever reason, seem to think that if one analyst goes this way and another goes that way, then why is that? As if we all follow the same methodology and approach? When you train…

The disruptors are not just LMS providers; they encompass a range of other learning systems. Three knowledge management platforms, not your typical LMS or two, and even an LXP. How did I go about finding these disruptors? What do I see as a disruptor versus one that isn’t? Why does Dairy Queen refuse to offer…

Equally, they believe these individuals, with their unique roles and responsibilities, have or know that this foundation is crucial. Instead, many folks are…

Talk. Let’s chat a bit. As you know, nowadays, there are many places where talking, discussing, exploring, and pushing a narrative can lead to all types of information and disinformation.
