Your ESN does not work - and here is why

Bottom-line is; whether you buy an off-the-shelf Enterprise Social Network (ESN) such as Yammer, Slack, or Workplace on a monthly subscription or you pay top-dollars to an IT-boutique for a highly customised product that fully aligns – today – with your organisation, the outcome will be pretty much the same: nothing.

The problem with Learning Management Systems (LMSs) is that, even if they are gamified (like the newer LMSs are), they still fail to create an engaging experience that lasts.

Ultimately, it is course-completion that slows down and new learning and behaviors that fail to materialise.

Fifty years later McGregor would call for a more Human enterprise (as opposed to a mechanical one).
