same way as personal smart devices

+ The big picture 
When considering an LMS implementation take a future focused 
approach 
• Consider an E2E Human Capital Management system (Hire to Retire) 
to gain rich insights from the components of the HCM 
• Configure your LMS as a “helping hand” (not as a “disciplinary 
manager”) to guide learners 
• Consider defining and implementing competency frameworks: 
• Recruiting for role requirements 
• Providing learning for role specifics 
• Development planning and career discussions 
• Leverage insights for manager / learner coaching discussions 
• Design and build surveys and assessments
+ Configuration Workshop 
Getting to grips with “you don’t know what you don’t know….” 
Ensure your implementation plan has sufficient “configure and build” time to carefully consider: 
• User Management – adding, changing learners 
• Learning Management – online content; instructor led; experiential learning; virtual classrooms 
• Physical resources, locations and scheduling of instructor led sessions 
• Security and logon considerations 
• Learning completion status – pass / fail / incomplete, in progress 
• Automatic processes for assigning core content 
• Reporting, marking attendance, surveys 
• Access restrictions within the system 
• Value added components – social, mobile
