Learning Technology Market 2016: Delivering Value For Money

May 2016

Based on the results of the Fosway and Learning Technologies independent market trends survey, conducted in January 2016, we have created a series of datasheets to explore some of the key areas. Each contains an action plan with insights and advice from Fosway analysts. The fourth in the series puts costs under the microscope and looks at how organisations can deliver value for money when it comes to their learning solutions.

How often do learning technology suppliers provide value for money?

Detailed breakdown

Action plan

1) Regularly re-assess your supplier list when tendering for learning solutions. Ensure you look for a range of different supplier to understand your cost and quality options.

2) Consider diversifying your procurement approach by adopting e-learning market-places.

3) Ensure you have a robust business case for each project and initiative. Measure and assess learning impact, reporting back to stakeholders the value your learning technologies have contributed to your organisations goals.

4) Harness the infrastructure and tools that are already embedded in your organisation. Increase the use of user generated content and adopt community based learning rather than assuming learning content is the answer.
