SDI practitioner lens
From definition to decision
An LMS is an administration and delivery system, not a learning strategy. It can make assignment, access, compliance, and reporting reliable, but it cannot compensate for weak practice, irrelevant content, or a missing performance system.
01 / Decision it should inform
Select an LMS around the audiences, integrations, governance, reporting obligations, and learning journeys the organization must actually support.
02 / What to watch for
A feature comparison can obscure the operating questions: who owns the platform, who maintains content, and what action will leaders take from its data?
