Litmos

The Litmos team is heading to TICE 2026 — and we'd love to connect.

📌 Come find us at Booth 37 at the Sheraton Imperial in Raleigh, June 16–18.

While you're there, don't miss this session from our VP of Learning Experience & Enablement, Melissa Kruminas: "From Cost Center to Competitive Advantage: The New Economics of Corporate Learning" – Wednesday, June 17 · 3:45–4:30 PM · Empire Ballroom E

👉 If your L&D budget still gets justified by completion rates, this one's worth your hour. Melissa will share a practical framework for connecting learning investment to the metrics executives actually care about.

See you in Raleigh!

You have a strategy. You have a platform. You probably even have leadership buy-in.
So why are programs still launching late? Why is the course library still stale? Why is your team still rebuilding content that should already exist?

Melissa Kruminas, our VP of Learning Experience & Enablement, has a clear answer in her latest piece on the Litmos blog: most L&D teams are looking in the wrong place.

The hidden constraint is having the most relevant content ready at the moment it's needed most. Missed compliance deadlines, inconsistent learner experiences, overloaded subject matter experts, and growing compliance exposure are all symptoms of the same underlying gap.

Closing it means being intentional about where your team's expertise creates the most value, and where ready-to-use content can do the work just as well.

Worth a read if content bottlenecks are slowing your programs down.

Next week, the Litmos team heads to Learning Technologies 2026 at ExCeL London — and we're bringing a couple of sessions worth clearing your schedule for.

Our recommendation?

Start by visiting us over at Booth K05 👋

🗓️ Then head over to Seminar Theatre 11 on Wed, 29 April at 13:15 for a special session with our VP of Learning Experience & Enablement, Melissa Kruminas: "Why Your Learning Metrics Are Lying to You And What to Measure Instead"

📌 This promises to be a candid, practical discussion about something that a lot of L&D teams quietly wrestle with — whether the metrics they're reporting actually mean anything.

🗓️ Next, on Thursday, 30 April at 11:05, visit the Bitesize Learning Zone 2 for a session with Litmos Senior Solutions Consultant, Mark Blakemore: "Task to Training in Minutes: A Day in the Life of a Litmos Admin"

📌 In this session, Mark will pull back the curtain on what a real day in the life of a Litmos admin looks like — and just how fast you can move from idea to live training.

If you're going to be there, drop a comment below — we'd love to connect in person. 🙌

Organizations do not need perfect predictions about the future of work.

They need adaptable systems.

That means adopting modern learning systems that do more than measure course completion.

It means instrumenting capability at the point of work, measuring speed to application, and linking skill signals to business outcomes.

Litmos Report: The Career Ladder is Evolving and HR Needs to Adapt New Litmos data reveals why traditional performance and recognition systems are broken and what organizations can do about it.

The manufacturing skills gap is being framed wrong.

It’s not a talent shortage.
It’s a system problem.

When knowledge is trapped in a few experienced operators and training isn’t built for the flow of work, performance becomes inconsistent—and impossible to scale.

The fix isn’t more hiring.
It’s building a readiness system that turns expertise into repeatable capability.

The Real Cause of the Skills Gap (Hint: It’s Not Talent) The manufacturing skills gap is a readiness problem. Here’s why focusing on talent acquisition instead is widening the skills gap and missing the...

52% of employees want a clearer connection between the skills they’re building and the opportunities in front of them.

They’re not asking for less structure. They’re asking for systems that can actually see what they’re capable of.

That’s the core tension in the AI Ceiling — and it’s also the clearest argument for why the career lattice matters. When organizations can map capability to opportunity in real time, the ceiling disappears. Growth stops being about the next rung and starts being about the next best move — which might be sideways, diagonal, or into a lane that didn’t exist a year ago.

Most organizations still measure learning by completions, not capability.

But here’s the problem: completion doesn’t tell you if your workforce can actually perform.

Workforce readiness is becoming a leading indicator of business performance — not a back-office metric. And without real visibility into capability, every strategic initiative carries hidden ex*****on risk.

This shift changes everything about how we think about L&D.
