Did you know? How to change the narrative
Not knowing impacts buyers and vendors when discussing an LMS, LXP, and other platforms Many are too long, but okay, a lot are. Some request specific information that any vendor would have to spend an inordinate amount of time on. Then the prospect (you) places a timeframe when the RFP has to be returned, ignoring…
Learning Systems Awards 2024 – Factors
Niche. One area I added is niche when identifying learning system vendors for the 2024 awards (end of the year). It doesn’t mean that every vendor has to have this, but rather, it means exploring those who do and whether or not they find success. I like to think of niche as a way to…
Gen AI: Latest Trends and Impacts on Training and Learning
The data shows that employees – perhaps your own employees are really concerned about AI replacing them. This isn’t from one source, or just one well-known entity espousing their study results, rather it is appearing in multiple studies, and not with just a few employees – but looking at it globally, with thousands of employees…
Uncovering True Innovation in LMS, LXP, and Learning Platforms
Innovate? An LMS? LXP? Learning Platform? Employee Dev Platform? Are you saying that any of these platform types are innovative? Wait, LMS? Oh, that is so traditional; there isn’t any innovation there. LXP? That’s where innovation comes in (hint- it doesn’t). A Learning Platform driven by brain-centric modalities? That must be innovative. AI-first platforms. Ok,…
Learning Technology and Learning Systems: Trust and Profitability
Learning Technology: LMS, LXP, LMS/LXP, Skills Platform, Learning Platform, Authoring Tools, Third-Party Content Providers, EdTech (K-12, Higher Education). E-Learning tools. EDP, and the list continues. Trust. Customer support, technical support, meeting obligations presented before or as part of the signing, promises unfilled, survival one minute, sale the next, consolidation (albeit the numbers are very small),…
The LMS and LXP Draft 2024
Learning Systems. Would you select an LMS? What about an LXP? Oh, maybe a combo of the two? Perhaps a learning platform that calls themselves whatever, has some functionality or more of an LMS, but won’t refer to them as that. Do you go with an Enterprise version? Customer Training/Education (aka legacy term as extended…
Learning System Failures – Recognize and Fix
Chris Taylor. Chris plays for the Los Angeles Dodgers, my favorite baseball team (MLB). You might have someone similar who plays for your favorite soccer team (there are sites, that mention the worst), or cricket, or hockey or football, or tidily winks. Chris was once a good player. That was about two years ago. Nowadays…
LXP – Don’t believe the Hype
For those Gen Xers who remember the days of MTV, it sure had a lot of Hype. How many saw the debut song by the Buggles – on the first day of MTV launch (8-1-81)? Where were you on that fantastic day? I was babysitting – and saw it on that first day. I was…
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…
Learning System Relationships – Renew or Break Free
If you have never experienced what I am about to cover, and you currently have a LMS, LXP, Learning Platform or any other type of learning system, heck even a talent management system with learning as a component, this little ditty will at some point come into play. For those of us, who have gone…
