L&D Strategy | Provider overload: Too many tabs, not enough time

L&D leaders are drowning in content sourcing. Aggregation is the lifeline they need.

If you're spending hours each week hunting for training content, you're not alone. According to Go1’s latest research, 93% of L&D leaders dedicate at least an hour a week to sourcing and managing content—and nearly three-quarters spend over three hours. That’s valuable time that could be spent building strategic programs or engaging teams.

The culprit? A fragmented content ecosystem. 40% of organizations are managing five or more content providers, with 14% using ten or more.

Most L&D leaders don’t take this approach lightly—they’re doing it to meet the diverse needs across their workforce, trying to make sure there’s something for everyone. But in trying to serve everyone else, they often pay the price themselves. The result is too often the opposite of what they hoped for: lost time, reduced impact, and growing frustration.
