"For many years, the Learning Management System, or LMS, was the main place for workplace learning. It stored courses, tracked completion, and helped organizations meet compliance needs. At that time, learning was planned, structured, and delivered in one place. That world no longer exists. Today, learning happens every day, across tools, teams, and tasks. People learn while working, solving problems, and collaborating."
"The traditional LMS was built for control. It worked well when learning was mostly classroom-based or course-driven. But work today is fast, digital, and constantly changing. Most employees do not begin learning by logging into an LMS any more. They search inside chat tools, ask AI assistants, watch short videos, or learn from teammates. Learning has moved closer to work."
The LMS originally centralized courses, tracked completion, and supported compliance. Work now involves continuous, on-the-job learning across tools, teams, and tasks. Employees increasingly seek help while working instead of stopping to log into an LMS. The LMS focus on control, slow course creation, and uniform content reduces engagement, speed, and personalization. Skills and tools change faster than courses can be produced, making many courses out of date upon release. The learning mesh connects LMS, collaboration tools, knowledge libraries, AI assistants, and external platforms to provide timely, role-specific, and embedded learning experiences.
