When setting out a new digital learning strategy, how often do we start with the assumption that an existing LMS needs to be replaced? What if a series of improvements could also deliver the results we need?

In a difficult financial climate, budget limitations and cuts will be very much in the air for L&D. But don’t despair! For those who follow the Way of the Fox there is always opportunity to work smarter and get more bang for the learning buck.

With over 800 learning managements systems (LMS) and other elearning platforms on the market, choosing the right one can be a nightmare.

The challenge is with a plethora of learning platform vendors out there (each with impressively long lists of product features) and so much talk of the LXP vs the LMS, how do you choose?

Learn Fox worked with HGEM on a project to capture their industry leading hospitality subject matter expertise, to design and create a suite of 12 x e-learning modules focused on empowering staff to deliver a top rate guest experience.

So, you’ve identified a need for a learning platform to deploy and track learning, but with hundreds of products out there, from an LMS to an LXP (Learner Experience platform), it can be hard to know where to start. This guide will take you through 10 steps to help define your requirements and choose the right learning platform for your needs.

To ensure that you’re inspiring your staff to be passionate and loyal brand advocates ensure that you’ve attracted the right staff who fit your company culture and values, that you’ve engaged them from day 1 through onboarding, that you’ve invested in their ongoing training and development to retain and nurture your top talent, and that you’re developing your rising stars with the appropriate tools and support to be great leaders.

Implement a new learning platform (or replace your old one) and convert your legacy training into engaging up-to-date digital learning. Depending on your learning strategy (which we can help you define) you might want to have a blended approach which adopts a mix of delivery methods most suited to the content (and your staff). Think of it as your learning recipe; some face-to-face classroom type training, a dollop of eLearning content, a handful of synchronous webinars and a spoonful of bite sized videos. Make it tasty and your staff will keep coming back for more and you won’t have to force them to the table.
