LXP

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. The latter included an authoring tool, too. Numerous…

LXPs. They continue to muddle up the learning system space. Not by their choice mind you, rather by the total amount of confusion among potential buyers, prospects, businesses, etc. There is a lot of information to digest here on the whole LXP space, what they do, what they do not do. What they are and…

Everyone loves comparisons. I mean just today, I compared this stale muffin to a fresh muffin and debated ever so briefly, should I eat the stale muffin, because it is blueberry and I love blueberry. In the end, the dogs got it. They love blueberry too. Well over a month ago, on LinkedIn, I started…

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.

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…

It’s that time of the year.  Awards coming out from analyst firms, sites, and anywhere and everywhere.  It’s like Granny’s potluck.  Some are delicious and inviting. Others are inviting but ensure that you can make it to the facilities in the fastest amount of time possible.  And yes, others that make sense. Seems scrumptious, after…

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…

10. To be quite honest, I could easily name 100 systems that I would recommend on any given day, depending of course on your use case, business goals/objectives, feature sets, and so forth. Budget is always an important one, okay it is the main one because a system can have everything you need, match your…
