With over 800 learning managements systems (LMS) and other elearning platforms on the market, choosing the right one can be a nightmare. But taking a smart, structured approach will give you a far greater chance of avoiding the pitfalls and selecting the right digital learning system to meet business and organizational needs. We lay out your key decisions.

Here we look at how consumer tech trends affect corporate training and learner expectations. Everyone is going to have to embrace agility and adaptability to survive.

With the exponential growth in consumer grade platforms (and apps) and with 65% of the world’s population owning a smartphone, it’s easy to see how user expectations have risen so rapidly and why learners expect to be able to learn and consume in the moment they need it, from the device in their pocket and in bitesize engaging formats.

When developing a digital learning transformation strategy, there are so many tools, platforms and new technologies out there it can be difficult to know what your business needs and where to start. Here we look at the building blocks and the transitions you'll go through.

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.
