Monday AM Breakout III

The last AM session on Monday took me to a marketing and roll out session from a health care company called Marketing and Implementation: Cheap and Easy. This hospital consortium in Minnesota (Park Nicollet) rolled out a new LMS and the three women who presented managed the rollout.

First off, they were totally full of energy, at ease as presenters and very happy to be there. It's not so much that ideas for their rollout were so creative (they did giveaways and meetings with managers and some local marketing) but it was their attitude about it that I think made their work successful.

They had a total eye and ear towards marketing and communications that transcended their work as learning managers.

They also had a cool giveaway...a mouse pad with inserts that were standard size cards explaining how to use their LMS and when changes were made or updates to training plans happened, they could just print a new insert.

It really showed me how much more we can do in our own area and how we may really need to push back on communication limitations to reach our users.

Very impressive work by these women.

More later,
