Lessons Learned? Be clear in explaining your needs!
1)Always set clear expectations with a solid brief outlining
WIIFM for the business and learners. Share the problem /
opportunities you want to solve. Don’t just provide a
specification.
2)Be proactive in customer forums and steering groups and
maximise our voice in shaping solution offerings.
3)Be proactive with After-Action-Reviews with providers
sharing feedback about where they can improve their
services – both during projects & after they end.
4)Engage with a cross section of the market so you
understand the opportunities of investing at different
levels, as well as gathering a broader set of solution
options. Consider including a wildcard option to keep
proposals fresh when you are tendering.

Lessons Learned: Value for Money comes to those
who look for it!
1.Regularly re-assess your supplier short-list when tendering for
learning solutions. Ensure you look for a range of options to
understand the different cost and quality options.
2.Consider diversifying your procurement approach by adopting e-
learning marketplaces to resource projects or share tenders.
3.Ensure you have a robust business case for each project and
initiative. Measure and assess learning impact, reporting back to
stakeholders the value your learning technologies have contributed to
your organisations goals.
4.Harness the infrastructure and tools that are already embedded in
your organisation.
5.Increase the use of user generated content and adopt community
based learning approaches rather than assuming learning content is
always the answer.
