<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>Our research last year into Large Enterprise Learning showed that the learning systems landscape for large enterprises is very different to that of the mid-enterprise or mid-market. Acquisitions (particularly by Cornerstone) have reduced the buying choices for large enterprise customers. That has created a vacuum pulling in some of the more progressive Core Leaders and Strategic Challengers, but the biggest competition is now with the learning offerings from the strategic HCM vendors.<\/p>\n
Whilst the situation is not as pronounced in the mid-market, over recent years, mid-enterprise HCM solutions have also been acquiring or partnering with learning systems too. As the skills challenge becomes universal, the importance of a good skills and learning solution to HCM only grows further. That impacts the 9-Grid™ too, as acquired learning systems disappear into an integrated HCM buy and disappear as standalone systems.<\/p>\n
The continued rise of LX, but no respite for LXP<\/h2>\n
Last year, we discussed that buyers were prioritising improving learning experiences (LX), but demand for standalone LX platforms (LXP) had declined. Key LX drivers such as personalised skills-based recommendations, slick UX, smart search, and seamless access to relevant learning, remain critical. In the mid-enterprise market, where most learning systems now offer both learning experience (LX) and learning management (LM) capabilities that shift is obvious.<\/p>\n
However, large enterprises face greater complexity and challenges in scaling LX improvements within their existing systems. The LXP category is becoming further marginalised, both being subsumed into integrated learning suites or becoming an extension to wider employee experience or workplace productivity platforms.<\/p>\n
Creativity required to meet frontline worker needs<\/h2>\n
Frontline workers continue to be a key focus for digital communication and learning. Having been neglected for many years, whether in manufacturing, transport, call centres, retail or hospitality, frontline (often deskless) workers require a different approach to desk-based knowledge workers and often need dedicated digital solutions. Technology vendors need to step-up and creatively solve these issues for deskless too. It\u2019s time to think out of the box of the current desktop, or even mobile offering. But corporate thinking and engagement from L&D teams needs to change as well.<\/p>\n
Fosway is seeing some great examples of where vendors and corporates are partnering to create something different. It could be the use of a digital screen on a production line with SME-generated video to remind a new operator of a process (no audio because of the machine noise), or screenless content (podcasts) for field sales engineers out on the road, or adaptive content to decrease call times and increase NPS for workers in call centres. More creativity is needed in understanding as well as solving the needs in the frontline.<\/p>\n
