A Learning Platform Is Not Just For Christmas

Don’t be misled by the title of this blog!

I mean it.

So many organisations purchase an online learning platform and then a couple of months down the line regret the decision and wish they could hand it back.

“Oh no, a 12 month contract” you think.

Some are longer, 36 months.

We receive so many calls like this. It’s frustrating for the client because they want out. It’s frustrating for my team because the L&D Manager is not in purchasing mode until another 5 months.

It’s a lose-lose.
