Details for "Implementing an Enterprise Learning Management System"

This is largely interactive lecture with as much attendee interaction as you’ll have in any session.  Everyone participates in numerous activities…and everyone walks away with actionable commitments they have made to deliver greater business results in their function and company.

Spend a day with Dr. Gary Woodill who will guide you through the entire implementation process for acquiring and setting up an enterprise learning management system. Gary developed one of the first LMSs in 1998, and has helped with dozens of LMS implementations since that date. 

The workshop starts with some background on the purposes of a learning management system and a discussion about just what is being “managed” by an LMS. Because an enterprise LMS is a major purchasing decision, all stakeholders need to be identified, and empowered to reveal their needs and wishes in its purchase.

The work of acquiring a high quality LMS starts well before the purchase decision. It involves aligning the impetus for having an LMS with the vision and strategy of the organization, making the business case to management, and looking at handling the impact that having an LMS will have on the organization. Requirements for the LMS needed to be gathered from all significant stakeholders, and an overall strategy and budget agreed to before searching for the ideal LMS for your company.

In this workshop we will briefly walk through all the stages an LMS implementation, from issuing a Request for Proposal to final testing and evaluation. In the first half of the workshop, participants will each prepare a draft RFP with the features of an ideal LMS that could apply to their own work situation. In the second half, we will list issues that may arise during an LMS implementation, and discuss how these issues can be resolved. The workshop will be informative, interactive, and practical.
