I'm sure I don't get the volume you do, but I was asked to speak to a group of learning vendors in London last year to explain how I purchased learning products and services. Just beforehand I checked my inbox for L&D offerings, requests for meetings, suggestions that my organisation couldn't possibly survive without the latest tool/methodology/approach/gismo etc. etc. I'd received 27 such mails from Learning vendors in the previous 24 hours. I checked again at the lunch break - another 13 ... Would I purchase a single one? No sir. Like most of us, when I have identified and defined a need I then find the best person/company to help me address it. Cheers Charles Amen, Jay!
