Improved Experiences in Acorn PLMS

We have been using Acorn PLMS for just about 6 months. There are three primary improvements compared to our use of a previous system. 1) Improved Learner Experience: ​With Acorn's multi-tenancy features, we have the ability to easily provide targeted, branded experience to our Client-Partners and other teams. We have not had negative feedback from any learners regarding difficul​ty using the site - it is intuitive for learners. 2) Improved Visual Experience for learners and administrators: With Acorn's Widget Dashboards, we are able to more quickly provide a home page or reports dashboard, as well as display in a variety of formats. 3) Improved Administrative Experience: Ease of access, design, and super-responsive support and partnership from our technical account manager and the client success and support teams, as well as original sales team.

Excellent Product, Even Better Support

There are so many great things about Acorn PLMS! First, working with their staff from the research/demo phase to implementation has been phenomenal. I can't say enough how helpful and patient they have been through the whole process of purchasing and implementation (still ongoing for me).Our company is building a training department from scratch, and as Training Manager, one of my first priorities was to research and find an LMS that works well for our company. At a conference, I met Jon Pettigrew, and thus began the consideration of Acorn PLMS. Acorn has a great LMS to catalog all your learning, whether it is content you have created internally or integrated from a partnered library. What makes Acorn PLMS even better than other LMSs is its additional features, Capabilities and Momentum. Capabilities adds another layer to understanding where your learners are and where they may need some extra attention. We are excited to implement Capabilities in our company so that employees can see not only where they are, but also what they need to work on to advance within the company and proactively work toward those goals. Although I haven't done much with Momentum yet, I have LOTS of ideas for it, and being a training department of one, any automation in processes will help me out tremendously. I also love the user-friendliness of the platform, and am confident our employees will feel the same when they get to use the system soon!

Smooth and well-supported—the team was responsive, and the system met our training needs effectively

The absolute best thing about Acorn is the performance module. Combining performance and learning is simplifying our internal processes. It is user friendly and has the capability to be used on handheld devices, which a lot of our staff prefer.

What is Acorn?

Acorn is not your normal LMS or LXP. We are rethinking corporate learning and performance technology because learning and performance initiatives have failed. Organizations are bogged down by smart people not operating at their full potential. Acorn is pioneering the Performance Learning Management System (PLMS) so that learners know how to be successful in their roles and leaders can have productive performance conversations with an accurate development plan. Acorn eliminates unmanageable competency spreadsheets and ensures content adoption with our proprietary AI-driven library of over 600 capabilities and 1600+ competencies. The platform enables ongoing performance evaluation and feedback loops through various capability assessments and gap analyses. We also recommend content for learners based on their defined capabilities, autonomously creating personalized development plans for all learners.Acorn PLMS envisions a world where leaders have objective and productive conversations about performance, learners see what they need to have an impact, and organizations support every learner with a development plan from day one.
