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.

We have a unique company and Acorn continued to rise to the occasion.

How easy the platform is to use, doesn't matter if you are an admin or a user. The platform is extremely user friendly. Jenny has been fantastic throughout the entire process. She is quick to respond to any and all communication and is available for calls whenever needed. I look forward to building what we have inside of Acorn and being able to use the platform to its full capacity in the next couple of years.

What is Acorn?

Acorn is the skills and development platform that closes the gap between what your people need to be able to do, what they can do today, and what is working to close it. Every role gets a standard, drawn from a framework of thousands of capabilities and proficiency levels. Your people capture the work they do against that standard, and the assessment is the checkpoint where a manager confirms what that work demonstrates. Development plans turn the gaps into action, and learning builds the skill. What a company holds is workforce evidence: proof of what its people can achieve, drawn from the work itself. Every AI suggestion is grounded in the organization's own configured framework, and a named person signs off before it reaches an employee. Assessment results are evidence for a conversation, never an automated decision about anyone's career. Acorn serves customers across HR, Talent Management, and L&D teams globally.
