Corporate learning is broken. Acorn PLMS is the antidote.
Impact not overload
Stop wasting people’s time. Facilitate contextual, peer-based learning that eliminates information overload, instead of making learners wade through volumes of content simply for learning’s sake.
Less learning is more
Both leaders and learners are tired of uninspiring training and performance reviews. People crave paths to excellence but are sick of wasting time wading through mountains of content because someone said so.
No more lost learning
Your people are learning outside your LMS by interacting with peers—and that learning is lost. Acorn captures things that are already happening and makes them easy to find, facilitating knowledge transfer between employees and fostering a learning-in-the-flow culture where everyone helps each other get better.
Consolidated LMS platform
One LMS that is best-of-breed for both internal and external use cases (i.e., for employees, partners, members, citizens, paid customers, and volunteers) and provides a system of record.
