The idea of talent management becoming an integral part of learning, with such a high level of intertwinement, made me shudder. I am okay with the fact that talent/performance management, as well as learning, should be separate. TM systems needed learning simply because without it, the substance of workforce development was limited. Additionally, it was…

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.
