Hits and Misses in 2022 – Learning Systems Edition

Hits. These are the capabilities, ideas, components, even messaging that scored well in 2022. Some are truly the “score”, that will go forward in 2023, to I believe not just imitators, in one case, and I would be one who would follow suit, then there are “scores” which bounced off the crossbar or off another player and went in. In other words, they delivered, but they didn’t fully achieve.

Misses are just plainly missed opportunities. Missed chances. Missed capabilities, whereas they had something that is “gold” but didn’t leverage it, or in some cases, were unaware of what it was – I see this a lot – and thus, failed to capitalize on it.

And finally a hit that will come down to a party that normally doesn’t do a good job of messaging, delivering, let alone explaining. It’s success or failure will come down to that specific party, thus either game changer or game that got away.
