LMS Consulting Services

We offer expert LMS consulting solutions and training services to help clients and companies optimize learning, develop their management systems, and achieve business goals.

Learning Management System Planning

We design our LMS Planning service to help clients confidently upgrade their existing Learning Management System or renew their LMS contracts. We conduct a thorough, unbiased assessment of the company’s current system, reviewing system documentation to identify gaps that must be addressed before embarking on a selection process.

Our experts then create a detailed Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) for the selection phase, providing customers with a straightforward implementation plan and cost-planning roadmap. Finally, we estimate the costs involved and provide budget planning support, ensuring that our clients clearly understand the financial implications of their LMS decision.

By partnering with our LMS Consulting for LMS Planning, organizations can make informed decisions about their LMS plan, ensuring that it supports their business goals and growth plans. In addition, our personalized approach and expert guidance also provide clients with the confidence, skills, and knowledge they need to succeed in their learning and development initiatives.

ROI - LMS

An ROI (Return on Investment) analysis is crucial for organizations considering upgrading their LMS as it helps determine the financial feasibility and potential benefits of investing money in a new system. In addition, it enables decision-makers to evaluate the project’s costs against the expected benefits, such as improved efficiency, increased revenue, and reduced content creation costs. By calculating the ROI, decision-makers can make informed decisions about whether to proceed with the project, optimize it for maximum ROI, or mitigate risks that could impact the project and ROI. The analysis can also identify uncertainties or risks that may affect the project, allowing for a more accurate assessment of the project and potential benefits and costs. Overall, the ROI analysis ensures that the new LMS is a financially sound investment that will benefit the customer, employee, and organization significantly. Our LMS consulting can help you define and craft a compelling case for investing in enhancing, upgrading, or replacing your current LMS by identifying the new system’s tangible and intangible benefits. Our consultants will collaborate with your Chief Learning Officer (CLO) or learning and development leaders to complete the ROI analysis and provide support when presenting the business case to the executive team.

Needs Assessment

As an experienced consultant, our firm recognizes that each organization has a number of unique needs, resources, and requirements for implementing a new Learning Management System (LMS). That’s why we offer a comprehensive Needs Assessment service to help you gain a thorough understanding of your organization’s specific needs, resources, and demands.

Our approach to Needs Assessment involves collaborating closely with your team to understand your organization’s goals, objectives, and challenges. We gather and analyze qualitative and quantitative data, including stakeholder and employee feedback, usage data, industry, and system requirements, to identify effective solutions to any potential issues and opportunities for growth.

Our consultants then prioritize the identified needs based on urgency, need, feasibility, value, and potential impact on the business. Finally, we document these prioritized needs as input to define business requirements, ensuring alignment between investment decisions and your company or organization’s objectives and goals.

A comprehensive Needs Assessment is a critical and effective first step in ensuring a successful LMS implementation. To learn more and find out about one example of how we help organizations identify needs, review our Needs Assessment Case Study.

LMS Request for Information (RFI)

SkillQ Consulting helps organizations gather information about learning management system (LMS) capabilities, features, and pricing from potential vendors by creating a vendor Request for Information (RFI).

The RFI process is typically the first step in selecting an LMS vendor.

The RFI process also allows organizations to identify potential roadblocks and challenges that may arise during the selection and implementation process.

We can provide templates and communication tools to streamline the RFI process and ensure potential vendors receive the business and technical information needed to submit comprehensive responses.
