And the simple take-away is this: Even in 2010, corporate LMSs still look awful. Every single stand displayed the same tab interface across the top, with the same table structures showing competency frameworks and training interfaces. Watching sales professionals demo the systems was hilarious: Page after page of complicated forms, just to assemble simple courses and handle training assignment. Bamboozled visitors watched, realising that they’d have to have 3 weeks of training just to get started with these ugly systems.

Things have moved on. There were some interesting speakers, particularly around mobile. Mobile has moved from ‘beta’ style implementations in 2009 to a must have part of e-learning strategies for organisations. The gold-rush was on with many companies keen to show off their mobile implementations.

Also on Wednesday night, we had a stand at Innovate London Showcase 2010 at the Thames Innovation Centre.

We got some posters and flyers printed:

Nothing like repeating your pitch every couple of minutes at a stand to help improve it!
