Q&A from Vendors – Learning Systems Edition
It is kind of weird. So many sites that list Q&A’s – mine included, look at it from the reader’s standpoint – what I refer to as consumers, even though they may have an audience consisting of PEs (Private Equity), outside their industry (C-Level and similar), vendors in the specific industry (e-learning) and sub-segments OR…
The Latest – Learning System RFI Template
Let’s face it – RFI/RFP documents sent over to learning system vendors are massive tomes that confuse, challenge and even baffle some vendors. They can be 25 pages. 50 pages, even 100 pages or more. They go way beyond what is needed OR not enough needed. Some companies have every department give their two cents…
The Use Case for a Learning System
The Use Case. Probably the least fun experience you will ever have when looking at or considering any type of learning system (LMS, LXP, EXP, Learning Platform, Craig’s Javalinas R US, etc.). The basics of any use case, is, to define at least at the very early stages, whether or not you qualify, for the…
The LMS – Let’s Set The Record Straight
Deep thinking question. Can you think or name one SaaS or non-SaaS solution where the market for that solution overwhelmingly believes it is only Legacy and thus an antiquated offering best found in the diggings of Troy; or outdated, non-useful because it is called “X” and thus the entire industry of said “X” is therefore…
Why can’t you say YES, when you want to buy a learning system?
Remember Lotus 1-2-3? For those of us, who experienced the late 80s when Floppy Discs ruled, and then used Lotus in the 90’s, the memory of such a solution, is easily forgotten (although I did take an online course using only Lotus Notes, in 1998). I mention Lotus Notes because I went on LinkedIn Learning…
Hits and Misses in 2022 – Learning Systems Edition
Hits. These are the capabilities, ideas, components, even messaging that scored well in 2022. Some are truly the “score”, that will go forward in 2023, to I believe not just imitators, in one case, and I would be one who would follow suit, then there are “scores” which bounced off the crossbar or off another…
Top 75 Learning Systems in 2022
I remember the very first time. The first time that I saw myself appearing in ads in Mexico with some pretty spiffy bell bottom jeans, striped no less. Then there was the entire ensemble, shirt and jeans. I was only seven. A star in the making. Just as I remember those fond memories (okay, I…
The Broken Dream – LXP
Bees. Wasps. Crows. They seem so different (besides scaring the beejeebees out of some folks). Two are insects. One is a bird. Yet, they all three have something in common (excluding fear phobias). Each of them can remember a human face. This means if they see the same human face multiple times, they will remember…
The Cornerstone Acquisition
There are a lot of pundits out there. Top that with analysts, then individuals with their own takes, and you can read or listen to a lot of perspectives. Whether it is crypto or inflation or whether greenhouse tomatoes taste better than those found on a street corner, there are a lot of people with…
Forget Buying Multiple Systems – Go One with All
There is a wonderful ad out there from Expedia, where Ewan McGregor talks about how much we love stuff. And he is 100% right. I love stuff. Tech stuff. I buy way too much of it, most of it sitting somewhere at my home, in closets or storage. Show me some Los Angeles Rams stuff,…
