New Content: How Digital Transformation Powers Training Businesses White Paper

 We have created a five-step roadmap to market leadership.Advanced digital transformation has become non-negotiable in the training industry.

Now, the greatest risk is for those who stay where they are, often as a result of a technology stack that is limiting their potential. This white paper introduces our comprehensive maturity model and will serve as a roadmap for digital readiness and charting a course for success. Inside, you'll explore:• Findings from a study of 100+ leading training companies• A five-step model for digital transformation - with strategic “must-dos” at each step• A tech stack scan of best-in-class training organizations• A look at the road ahead: digital tra

Were you at Cognition23-Part 2?COG23

And I thought yesterday was good! Wow! Today was mind-blowing in so many ways! (Yes, the exclamation points are necessary ;) )Robin Wadsworth opened the day with a recap of yesterday and the attention grabbers for today and it rolled right over to the TI product showcase. There's another post out there that talks about all of the cool things we're up to, but Todd Boes, Jennifer Vu , Alejandro Haydar and Jessie Gold showed off some VERY cool toys. By far, the most popular comment in the chat was 🤯. And I don't disagree.Paul Merrylees was up next with some amazing advice on serving our customers, of course, backed with some great data. Rachel Rheinhart was there to showcase some of that data. You can always count on Paul and Rachel to have the information you need to move your program in the direction you want to go.Robin wrapped up the morning and showcased the dual track afternoon.Track I started with Sadie Dickman discussing accessibility with Jonathan Avila, CPWA at Level Access fro

Cognition - Day 1COG23

It was such a packed day of information and interactions! I know some of that is because so many people worked so hard to make this week a reality. Thanks particularly to Jaclyn Blake and Michael Daecher for all the herding cats that they have done to get through to today.Every conference starts off with a welcome message, but WOW! what a message! Robin Wadsworth is one of the best out there to get the thoughts moving in the right direction. She knows how to bring the interest and target the themes every single time. And this is the third time I've seen her do it. Adapt! Innovate! Scale!Which led up to BARRY KELLY , where the comments were all about how natural his presentation was, and how nice it would be to go for a beer with him. Which is true. But the story he wove was really about Thought Industries - how the past has shaped the present as we move into the future. 10 years! In software time, that's old! The story was certainly one of progress, of the advent of panorama (one of th
