"Aligning learning initiatives with clear business objectives is a stronger predictor of success than technology selection alone. Defining the operational goal is the first step, because feature lists alone don't determine outcomes. Before evaluating whether a platform is 'adaptive' or 'AI-powered,' more important questions emerge: What problem are we actually trying to solve?"
"Terms like 'adaptive' and 'AI-powered' are used across the market, but they don't always describe the same level of functionality. Buyers can reasonably interpret these labels as indicators of deep personalization, while implementation may focus primarily on structural adjustments. The first step in evaluation, therefore, is to clarify what actually changes for the learner."
Organizations often struggle with eLearning when platform capabilities misalign with expectations, not due to missing features. Marketing terminology like 'adaptive' and 'AI-powered' frequently obscures actual functionality differences. Success requires defining operational goals before technology selection. Buyers must move beyond keyword-driven evaluation to understand what genuinely changes for learners. Five practical criteria help assess how platforms function in real implementation, enabling better decision-making regardless of budget constraints or existing contracts. Clarifying what problems the system should solve precedes feature evaluation.
