Many organisations are wondering at what point and why they should adopt an LMS. It may not be necessary for smaller companies providing only a few training sessions or Teams recordings, and some companies will do just fine with an off-the-shelf online course library provided by an external provider, too. However, growing companies benefit from their own LMS in several ways.
In September 2023, we at Greenstep started to use a learning management system (LMS) provided by Zensai (formerly LMS365). It creates many opportunities to support the development and professional growth of our experts. Working life is changing rapidly, and with the help of an LMS, we can respond to these changes quickly and provide high-quality L&D events that are easily accessible to our experts.
When CableCrew rolled out their new ERP system, they knew it wasn’t just about new technology - it was about people. To make the transition smooth, they teamed up with Greenstep for tailor-made leadership training. The goal? To give CableCrew’s managers the tools and confidence to lead one of the company’s biggest change projects yet. With the new ERP, project finances and real-time updates became accessible not just to management, but also to project leads and even clients. This kind of transparency called for new ways of working. It challenged everyone at CableCrew to rethink old habits, reshape responsibilities, and adjust their leadership practices.
