LMS Selection

Which LMS requirements are vital for training and certification in business-to-business-to-business (B2B2B) environments? What's the fastest route to success? Listen to The Talented Learning Show!

If a vendor is not doing a consistently fantastic job in serving customers, the demand for references will always outweigh the supply.

Learning systems buyers are always more successful when they invest their limited time evaluating qualified vendors for their specific business situation vs. trying to qualify 700 vendors themselves.

Most associations are naturally positioned to succeed with reinvented member education programs because they're already widely known and respected in their industry.

As fiercely independent consultants, we focus on one goal – to help enterprise LMS buyers find the best solution for their needs. Here's our best advice...

LMS implementation is generally much faster, cheaper and easier than it was a decade ago, thanks largely to the massive shift toward cloud-based applications.

We obsess about every facet of the LMS market so our clients can more effectively attract, engage and educate learning audiences of all types – B2B and B2C customers, channel partners and contractors, employees, association members, continuing education students and the public-at-large.

The key to success is a process that compares qualified vendors on an apples-to-apples basis, which is why we communicate requirements in a structured request for proposal (RFP).

While the "setup–show–recap" method requires more effort than the "spray and pray" approach, prospects should recognize that you've mapped their pain points to relevant use cases.

If each audience has highly specific needs, an all-purpose solution may be only marginally effective, at best.
