Have you, as a training manager or L&D professional, shortlisted e-learning vendors to develop customized learning solutions for your organization? If you’ve answered yes, then the following scenario might seem familiar to you.
A training manager followed certain e-learning vendor selection criteria and received the following proposals from two different e-learning vendors. The first vendor proposed a simple e-learning solution with a set of multiple choice questions for assessments, at a cost of $20,000. The second vendor proposed simulations, videos, and a gamified assessment at a staggering cost of $250,000. This left the training manager confused as to how to make the choice.
It’s easy to blame vendors for the disparity in pricing, but why do you think there’s this discrepancy. Can this be avoided? Before you begin formulating the e-learning vendor selection criteria for your organization, work on the all-important step of writing a request for proposal (RFP).
