Steal These Thoughts!
I spend a lot of my working life with learning technologies.
Using them, researching them and constantly being hounded by sales teams representing the millions of suppliers worldwide telling me that I need to buy their platform as it’s going to change my world.
I can confidently report that after 15 years in this game, not one of those messages delivered on their promise of rocking my world.
It is a crazy market right now.
Everything is “AI-powered” but should be human-centred, although that’s not a sexy thing to say in the current climate. In my tea-infused opinion, buyers should be looking for tech solutions that are built on AI and powered by humans.
I’m an optimist at heart.
Despite the recent AI craze, buying new tech, especially learning tech, is still hard.
I did it for 10 years across large corporate, scale-up and startup organisations. I LOVE technology, but by god do I LOATHE the barrage of sales meetings and odd marketing choices.
It’s part of the game, I get that.
Yet, it can leave consumers, and more importantly for you suppliers out there, budget holders confused.
That’s a huge number.
According to my research (with Perplexity AI 😉) $20 billion of that sits in the LMS/LXP market. The e-learning market (which I’m convinced will never die in my lifetime) which makes a significant portion of the EdTech category, is expected to reach $1 Trillion by 2032.
With these numbers, no wonder everyone is out there with a AI-powered, e-learning based, content warehouse monolith.
So, our job is to cut through this noise.
Everyone wants your $$. But you need the right dance partner. One that won’t be another careless whisper and means you might never dance again (bonus points if you know the reference).
Let’s find that for you.
Did coronavirus kill the classroom? Quite possibly, maybe not entirely but I doubt you’ll see many of us in one anytime soon.
In the wave of lockdowns in the pandemic era, quite a few L&D teams have been forced with an overnight remote working and digital transformation.
Talk about one big smack of change to an industry that’s been historically slow to adapt.
Looking to make better use of your workplace technology to create a great employee experience?
Then look no further as I have some ideas to share with you.
In my humble opinion, the new starter onboarding process or the welcome experience as I prefer to call it, is one of the most important elements of joining a new company.
One which sadly, many workplaces screw up.
Let me ask you this, do you think people are accessing your LMS or LXP to ask questions about their problems?
→ Tools and frameworks to improve performance through tech
→ Case studies from leading L&D teams
→ In-depth breakdowns of the skills you need to succeed.
5,000 L&D pros love it ❤️
