I learn something every week. I’m sure many of you do as well. Just as many of you, okay more than enough, pick up various factoids. For example, did you know that Coca-Cola makes a special blend of their Coke just for McDonald’s? This is why, the taste is never the exact same as anywhere…

Routines. We all have them. It may be as simple as drinking coffee each morning, watching the news. Perhaps, it is having tea, reading the latest news on the Internet or in the newspaper. We can’t seem to break this routine. We may try to mix it up, and there are days where we can’t…

Everyone knows that support in the learning system space as a whole is below average. Sure there are vendors who do an exceptional job, but the fact still remains that the number one reason, people leave one learning system vendor for another is support/service. This isn’t new. It has been the same issue for nearly…

This past week on LinkedIn I wrote about four trailblazers in the early days of the industry, learning systems – and what made them special (one has since hit speed bump), and four who trailblazed and then hit a major speed bump into, well, lost their way.

Do you ever sit there and think to yourself, okay, I have to write this, I’m not sure where to start, where to begin, but I know in my heart, this is where it is going. You say to yourself, I have mixed feelings about this, but the trend lines, the data is all pointing…

What a week. That’s the way I feel, with a return of an injury on my right hand, the challenges of writing as a result and some alternatives to presenting the information for this blog. Initially it was going to be 100% video-based, but after hearing from folks who loved the LL product review thru…

Well, here we are.  A new year, and well, new rankings for 2021.  For those new, each year, I publish what I see will be the top 10 systems for the coming year, based on a set of criteria (which will be listed shortly).  Roadmaps play a role here, and ties into track records of…

Stop the presses! There is a bat on the loose.  Ahh, remember the days when you could attend a movie without ever seeing one commercial ad as though you are watching television?  Which reminds me, I often wonder how many people are even watching live TV (and not recorded) when it is not a sporting…

Have you ever bought a learning system only to find out nine months later, that the support team were actually a group of demons out to ruin your life? Did you ever ascertain whether or not your boss, is a lizard person?  And if so, what gave it away the Zoom Video call, when her…
