Developing Your Enterprise LMS/LCMS Strategy
Chris Howard, Principal Analyst
Thousands of organizations have several years of operational experience in
LMSs and LCMSs. Others are just now justifying enterprise LMS strategies.
Can experts and novices learn from each other? You bet!
The LMS/LCMS marketplaces are far from mature. Many training technology
managers are embarking on their second or even third system deployment. This
means that all can learn lessons from colleagues.
This session will summarize key findings from recent and extensive research
into these markets. We’ll begin by providing an industry overview,
with trends, statistics, and product strengths and weaknesses. We’ll
then get your minds moving with discussion, interactive exercises, and questions.
Training technology executives, managers, and specialists attending
this session will be able to:
- Identify specific goals they can achieve with a new or updated LMS/LCMS
strategy.
- Apply current research toward solving their own operational and strategic
challenges.
- Identify technology and management tips and best practices from others
in their local area.

The Business Applications of Talent Management
Leighanne Levensaler, Principal Analyst
Talent management should be viewed first and foremost as a business imperative. Its
goal is to create an organization that meets its short- and long-term business
targets.
Yet, most organizations see talent management as an HR function – a perspective
that almost always dooms initiatives to failure.
This session will show you how to effectively use talent management programs
to address the challenges unique to your business. During the morning,
we’ll present the findings of recent, ground-breaking research into the
talent management market and analyze the major trends identified. During
the afternoon, we’ll conduct breakout sessions to help you apply this
information to your own talent management challenges.
Human resource and learning professionals attending this session will be able
to:
- Identify specific business
applications of talent management
- Identify the talent management
best practices
- Identify benchmarks for
their organization
- Apply the research to talent management
challenges within their own organizations.
