Vacillation. It is quite a strong word and one that I admit I have thought about the past few weeks.  The reason is well, a bit of odd, in that for my rankings, I post them for the upcoming year (after all the Top 50 Rankings are for 2020, and come out in January).  For…

We have a problem. It appears everywhere you go in the learning system space. It is something in one way you wouldn’t expect in 2019, and yet in another way, based upon other industries such as tech, it is in alignment, and not in a plus perspective. What I am referring to is gender at…

85. That sounds about right.  Initially the list was 100, but culling has begun and for some, that meant, well, why be an “in the box” kind of the person, when being a bit “outside” of the box is so much more fun. 85.  It does seem like such a large number, but when you…

This post covers a list of systems that I’d recommend on any given day, that based on nearly 20 years of experience in online learning, and witnessing the trends, the duds, the promises and disappoints. What it isn’t – is a list of systems based on a 15 point criterion that I use for my…

Initially I was going to write about my forecasts for 2020. Then I realized that the post would mainly focus on one major trend that will impact the space in such a way (good, I believe), and thus as a result, decided to hold off on my forecasts for 2020 – until Oct. As part…

There is an old story about branding.  It goes something like this.  If after a few years, nobody can recall your name, or remember your name or even associate your name with the type of product you are, then you need to change your name. Actually, it isn’t an old story.  I just created it,…

This is a first for me.  Writing a product review on a product that I use, well, I am about to use. Allow me to explain. Several months back, I saw the Instilled LXP in a beta form, and immediately was entranced by the video aspect – capabilities, functionalities among other items.   I was planning…

Over the past three months, we have been reaching out to learning system vendors throughout the world, seeking to find information on the number of female executives at their companies and whether or not they had a leadership development program, and if so, what are the breakdowns? This post covers what will be included in…

I’m sure you have heard of this old ditty from the days of past, “Ol’McDonald had a grid, e-i-ee-io. And on this Grid he has some vendors, e-i-e-i-o.  He had vendors in this quad, he had vendors in that quad and didn’t have your vendor, e–i-e-i-o.” As you can see Ol’McDonald was a traditionalist.  He…

The other day, I was thinking about Apple. I remember the days of the Macs in the 90’s. While they were a software company – operating system wise, they also sold hardware.  Then, they sold mp3 devices.  Next, came iTunes, which went from just music to e-books, movies and eventually podcasts.  Wait, oh, yeah, iCloud. …
