## Overview

### Key benefits of Acorn

Acorn Performance LMS (PLMS) is the dynamic AI-powered platform for Learning and Development (L\&amp;D) experiences synchronized to business performance. Corporate learning is broken. Acorn is the antidote. It’s the only solution that guides learners step by step to master the specific capabilities of their roles that will accelerate organizational performance. Both leaders and learners are tired of uninspiring training and performance reviews. People crave paths to excellence but are sick of wasting time wading through mountains of content because someone said so. They’re learning outside of their organization’s LMS by interacting with peers — and that learning is lost. &#10;&#10;Acorn captures things that are already happening and makes them easy to find. It facilitates knowledge transfer between employees and fosters a learning-in-the-flow culture where everyone helps each other get better. By presenting contextual learning opportunities while tightly linking learning and performance, Acorn equips people to grow and excel in precisely the ways that positively impact outcomes. Acorn enables companies, governments and other institutions worldwide to consistently align individual growth with business objectives through a performance-oriented LMS. &#10;&#10;Designed to codify and operationalize capabilities to improve organizational efficiency, Acorn curates internal and third party sources and intelligently serves up the right learning recipe for each person’s betterment. It also captures key interactions hidden within organizations, transforming them into shareable learning assets that promote knowledge exchange at scale. Acorn’s AI collects tangible evidence of behavior change, creating a comprehensive record of individual learning experiences mapped to their impact on performance. It facilitates continual employee assessment in a feedback loop that measures improvement not completions. This makes it easier for companies to identify people with desired capabilities, promote from within and enhance retention, engagement and satisfaction. &#10;&#10;Uniquely, Acorn addresses the issue of multiple LMSs plaguing organizations, providing one PLMS for employee, partner, customer, member and citizen use cases. Acorn envisions a world where organizations attain peak performance by empowering their people with the information to reach their full potential as impact players. Impact, not overload™

> 
> **Pros**: Easy to use, affordable and great service and support. I recommend this product to anyone I know looking for a LMS.
