Organizational Alignment

Jerry is the Learning Director of a bustling new mid-sized organization. He values a training approach that aligns training to his organizational goals. He wants to track & measure verifiable results. He’s interested in on-the-job improvements as a direct result of training.


His only training solution today is a stack of handouts and a very tired trainer named Sheldon.Nobody likes the training. People say the training is dull, irrelevant and that they don’t havetime for it.

Evaluation - Process

• Technical• Budgetary• Pedagogical• Personnel

Determine your needs

• Use a spreadsheet to track / compare features in each• Compare Available Solutions• Elements Identified as Needs

Develop a Comparison Matrix

• Consider the Cloud - reliability• Request Live Demos• Smoke test the content first

Contact Leading Vendors


Comparison Matrix Approaches - Considerations

25

• A requirements comparison is more important than a feature comparison

Requirements may not equal Features

• Consider weighting requirements to add importance to areas that are higher priority• Consider weighting product fulfillment of the requirement

Not all features are equal

• Most online comparison charts are actually being promoted by a vendor• Decide the priorities yourself, and decide how well a tool does something yourself.

Don’t fall for marketing comparisons
