<p>John talks to Laura Lee-Gibbs, Digital Learning Consultant
& Director of Learn Fox. In her 14 years in the industry she has
worked both vendor-side and client-side, across a broad range of
sectors including legal, healthcare, retail, automotive,
hospitality, financial, charities, professional associations,
public sector and government agencies. Her practice focuses on
digital transformation, and one of the things she does a lot for
clients is to guide them through the difficult decisions involved
in choosing a learning system. She has a three-step process for
doing this which she talks through in this interview. The
discussion also covers the importance of vendor relationships and
the human factors to look out for when choosing a vendor with whom
to work.</p>
