In world where colleague experiences at work are essential to build and embed a purpose driven, high performance culture – the buzz around the learning technology as a critical enabler has never been so in focus. Seamless and consumer grade learning programs have the potential to take employees through unique and nuanced journeys and initiatives that make a big impact, both for company performance and personal growth & progression. Equally the vendor landscape has never been more feature rich and is able to cater for delivery across the entire spectrum of learning preference.
And yet there is a problem. Our research shows that not only is buying learning technology a costly and lengthy exercise, 75% of all technology implemented is underused. Organisations are struggling to gather, and then map, meaningful functional requirements against vendor feature lists that seem ever changing and which continue to evolve at lighting speed.
In this research we help to differentiate the various options available to organisations, helping to explain the critical functionalities and differences between Learning Management Systems (LMSs) and Learning Experience Platforms (LXPs), allowing organisations to easily identify the best fit for their needs. We also take a look at how skills and emerging tech will change the way learning platforms evolve for the future.
