The Learning Management System's Role in the New L&D Environment
The demands on learning management systems are changing hand-in-hand with dramatic shifts in corporate learning environments:
- Budgets are tight and rapid ROI is imperative. Organizations considering a new learning management system ( LMS ) expect it to minimize up-front costs and deliver rapid and measurable ROI.
- The need for knowledge conflicts with time constraints. Workforce reductions and the business philosophy of doing more with less pressure employees to work harder and smarter. At the same time, rapid change in business markets and technology make it challenging to keep knowledge and skills current. Companies need an effective learning management system that integrates a variety of training content and content media, which accommodates learners' busy schedules.
- Workforces are dispersed and mobile. Many organizations have workforces distributed across multiple locations, often around the globe. Increasingly mobile, on-the-go employees use smart-phones and other wireless devices to maintain anytime, anywhere connectivity to corporate resources, so to provide maximum value to today's businesses, a learning management system must actively support these globalized, mobile workforces.
