Next, you must take a look at what we will call the organization's "self awareness" structure. For example, can managers be given the responsibility of helping people log in to the LMS and make choices about their training? Or, are will it be necessary for your department to create specific curriculum paths that are very well self-directed? Going further than this, will managers resent this responsibility?
But what about the readiness of the learners themselves? Are they technically proficient? Even in our technological age, there are still organizations with populations that are not ready to trust their training plans to the computer, or even take classes online. On the other hand, you may have a population that is into every technological advance and enjoys a new technical challenge. These learners may even have gone to college online and may spend time every day in social networks, software applications, and Internet exploration. Most likely, your organization has a hybrid group that encompasses many different types of learners. The reason for this discussion is that your LMS choice is directly related to this organizational "self awareness". Depending on your findings, you may need to choose an LMS that is simple and intuitive or one that has more complex features. In other words, don't alienate your audience by your choice - have them in mind when you begin viewing demos and sales presentations.
Size probably influences people most when they first join organizations. A familiar adjustment to size occurs when students enter large universities. Coming from high schools of several hundred to a few thousand students, many first-year college students are overwhelmed by the sheer size of a university campus that may have from 10,000 to 30,000 students. Soon, however, the newcomers categorize their environment, using cognitive, emotional, and intuitive processes. Investigations of how people categorize in organizations are not readily available, but the process may be similar to how people map cities such as New York and Paris. In a series of studies it was shown that such factors as architectural or social distinctiveness highlight an area enough to place it on a person's cognitive map of a city. Thus, in New York City, Columbus Circle and Rockefeller Center are remembered because of their architectural characteristics; Chinatown and Little Italy because of their cultural features.
