Launched in 2013, the Elearnity 9-Grid™  model is based on the results of extensive independent research and insights from Elearnity’s corporate-research network of over 100 client organisations, including BP, Lloyds Banking Group, Rolls Royce, and Vodafone. Elearnity 9-Grid™ was originally created because of the limitations of existing market profiling approaches. None of the existing models concentrate on the HR, talent and learning, and talent markets from an EMEA perspective, leaving a vacuum for organisations trying to identify which solutions best meet their needs.

The new Elearnity 9-Grid™ for Integrated Talent Management provides an independent and objective assessment of the talent-management market in Europe. The analysis captures five levels of insight into a vendor’s position in the market, showing their performance, potential, market presence, total cost of ownership, and Elearnity’s expectations about their 9-Grid™ trajectory in the future.  

"With an improving economy and much greater boardroom focus on attracting, developing, and retaining key talent, the Elearnity 9-Grid™ for Integrated Talent Management is a unique tool for organisations looking to develop a connected and strategic approach to talent management," said David Wilson, Elearnity’s Founder and Managing Director. "Our ratings contrast critical factors, including market and customer performance, scope and sophistication, and total cost of ownership, important components of making the best supplier decisions and developing a sustainable strategy."

Earlier this year, Elearnity also announced the 2014 versions of its Elearnity 9-Grid™ for LMS, Authoring Tools, and Bespoke eLearning Development. Other HCM, talent and learning sectors will follow later this year.
