Carry out surveys. To get the answers you really want, the best way is to do this anonymously is by carrying out a quick temperature check or staff satisfaction survey. An online feedback tool such as Feedo would be a great place to start and incorporates some additional resources too that you could add to your L&D offering.
2. Set learning goals. Once you have figured out if you’re on the right track with your L&D brand, the next step is to set out what you want to achieve.
3. Know your system. Before launching, you need to get your head around how to work your platform and learn about all the features.
4. Create welcome content. Even if your online learning catalogue isn’t fully ready, you need to present some kind of learning from the off and make sure it's good quality content.
5. Soft launch. You need to run a trial with some test users. You may wish to define a learning platform focus group and literally test every functionality you can.
6. Communication. Keep everyone updated with your launch plan and what you are working on. This will help your future users feel involved and set their expectations of what they can expect the new platform to support them with.
