Learning Management Systems (LMS)

  • Are you wanting to implement a LMS and need some practical support from an experienced e-learning practitioner?
  • Do you need someone that talks your language and theirs?

Sometimes choosing the right LMS is like trying to fit a square peg into a round hole.

Connect Thinking® Can Help

Connect Thinking can help you to unravel the complexities of learning management systems and distil the outcomes you want to achieve for your business and staff.

Typically a new LMS will take 12-18 months to mature and embed into organisational processes.

There are four common risks to LMS implementation:

  1. Requirements mismatch
  2. Budget and/or timeline blowout
  3. Inadequate systems governance
  4. Poor user adoption

Connect Thinking can help you with strategies to avoid these common LMS risks.

What Are The Benefits Of LMS?

A LMS can streamline your administration processes, create confidence in training records, supply management with useful reports, and provide staff a ‘one stop shop’ to enrol in and access learning. These are operational benefits of a LMS.

LMS of the future will know the profile of individual staff, and suggest formal and informal learning that match roles, interests and gaps in knowledge and skills. Learning objects will be accessible to staff anytime, anyplace through mobile devices. The LMS will play a strategic role in workforce development and performance support.

Planning for the future can begin with an informed LMS strategy that depicts 2 and 5 year requirements.

Connect Thinking will help inform your 2 and 5 year e-learning and LMS vision.
