While you might understand how your organization could benefit from a Learning Management System (LMS), it’s often upper managers who have a hard time seeing the benefits. According to 49% of talent developers, getting managers to prioritize e-learning is their number one problem. Here are four strategies to help upper managers realize the importance of an LMS:
- Collect Data:
Identify the objective pain points in your organization and gather as much information and data as you can. Are there issues like high turnover or low sales numbers? Determine the reasons behind these issues. - Understand How an LMS Can Help:
Learn as much as possible about how the LMS can address these problems. For example, an LMS can reduce turnover by helping employees feel they are developing professionally. For low sales numbers, an LMS can improve product knowledge and customer relations training, which in turn could increase sales. - Use Objective Data:
Support your argument with objective data on what your organization is losing money on currently and how the investment in an LMS will help reduce those costs. Find case studies online or ask vendors for them to bolster your case. - Mind Your Terminology:
When giving your pitch, avoid using the term “LMS.” Terminology is important, and executives, who get pitches all the time, may find acronyms confusing and easily dismissible. Using a more applicable, clear term like “training platform” or “learning management system” might be better received.
