Learning Management (LMS)

The Onboarding Lead v1.0

Head of people development at a manufacturer with 1,400 employees across three plants in Germany and the Czech Republic, a third of them on shifts and without a company email address. Hires around 200 people a year, apprentices included. Wants new starters enrolled the day HR creates them, a path that works on a phone in German, Czech and English, tasks for the manager and the buddy, and to stop chasing completions by spreadsheet.

The Compliance Officer v1.0

Compliance officer at a regional bank supervised by BaFin, with 900 staff who complete anti-money-laundering, data protection, information security and code of conduct training every year. The last audit asked for proof of which version of a course each person had completed, and it took them a week to assemble. Wants assignments by role and entity, reminders that escalate to the manager, recertification that runs on its own, and an audit trail they can hand over as it is.

The Customer Education Lead v1.0

Runs customer education at a software company in Amsterdam that sells to 3,000 business customers and trains 120 implementation partners. Built the first academy on a course shop and outgrew it when partners needed their own portal and certifications that expire. Wants branded portals per audience, single sign-on from the product, paid courses with invoices, completions in the CRM, and a price that does not double when the academy finally works.

The Works Council Member v1.0

Member of the works council at a logistics company with 2,000 employees, responsible for IT systems and the works agreements that govern them. Knows that a system which logs who learned what, when and with which score can monitor performance, and that it needs their consent under §87(1) no. 6 BetrVG before it goes live. Reads which data is recorded, who sees individual results, whether time tracking can be switched off, and when records are deleted, before reading a single feature page.

The IT & HR Systems Admin v1.0

Runs identity and HR systems for a 600-person engineering services firm on Microsoft 365, Entra ID and Personio. Every new tool means another set of user accounts unless it supports SAML and SCIM. Wants users and departments synced from the HR system, learning inside Teams, a documented API, completions exportable for payroll and audits, and courses that leave as SCORM packages if the contract ends.

The Skeptic v1.0

Has seen "AI-powered learning" that meant a chatbot on top of a course list, "compliance-ready" that meant a completion checkbox, and "unlimited users" that ended at the first price review. Reads that a product is "GDPR-compliant" and asks where the learner records are stored, who can see each score, whether five years of completion history can be exported in a format the next system imports — and what leaving would cost.
