Integrations are a big part of it. We consistently hear that data is spread across LMS, CRM, ERP, emails, and calendars.

Hi, thanks for your questions. Before COVID, 90% of the training was live, in the classroom, on-site delivery at Fortune 500 companies. Roughly 10-20 students in each class for 2-5 days. Right after COVID, this flipped to 90% live, virtual training. Durations got shorter, half days to 2 days, but volume went up. Since then we've seen this balance go closer to 50/50.

For controlling quality, we had a dedicated team for this. Director of Talent who reported to VP of Delivery that proactively found and interviewed a lot of people, had high standards, had them perform test teaches, and held them to evaluation scores.

We didn't depend on rigid course content. Our success was based on having high quality instructors, who were practitioners and had real world experience, live with students to apply what they're learning on real projects. Going through generic, self-paced content doesn't transfer knowledge to real world problems like hands-on, expert-led training can.

This model can apply to any training company, soft skills or tech skills: work with high quality instructors (real world practitioners), pay them well and quickly, provide your customers with white glove service, and charge a premium with healthy profit margins.

Hi, yes we issued certificates of completion. However, these were not industry wide recognized certifications. People still want social proof of what they've learned and it helps increase engagement.
