Acorn overview

What is Acorn?

Acorn Performance LMS (PLMS) is the dynamic AI-powered platform for learning experiences synchronized to business performance. Corporate learning is broken. Acorn is the antidote. It guides learners step by step to master the specific capabilities of their roles that will accelerate organizational performance.

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. By presenting contextual learning opportunities while linking learning and performance, Acorn equips people to excel in precisely the ways that impact outcomes. Designed to codify and operationalize capabilities to improve organizational efficiency, Acorn curates internal and third party sources, serving up the right learning recipe for each person. It transforms key interactions hidden within organizations into shareable learning assets that promote knowledge exchange at scale.

Acorn’s AI collects tangible evidence of behavior change, mapping individual learning experiences to performance. It facilitates continual employee assessment in a feedback loop that measures improvement not completions. This enables companies to identify people with desired capabilities, promote from within and enhance retention. Acorn addresses the issue of multiple LMSs plaguing organizations, providing one PLMS for employee, partner, customer, member and citizen use cases.
