How to Build a Great LMS RFP |Turning Reqs into Better Vendor Decisions |Talented Learning

A well-constructed Request for Proposal (RFP) remains one of the most effective tools for evaluating learning technology vendors—when done correctly. Yet too many organizations either skip the process entirely or create RFPs that generate hundreds of pages of vendor responses without delivering meaningful insight.

In this Talented Learning Office Hours session, John Leh shares a practical framework for developing LMS and learning technology RFPs that drive better decisions, reduce vendor bias, and focus attention on the capabilities that matter most. Drawing from more than 150 learning system selections, John walks through the structure of an effective RFP, common mistakes to avoid, and techniques for transforming business requirements into actionable vendor evaluation criteria.

Topics include:

-Determining whether an RFP is the right approach for your project
-Defining business, functional, technical, service, and commercial requirements
-Prioritizing requirements to separate "must-haves" from "nice-to-haves"
-Designing vendor response templates that improve comparability
-Using RFP results to create stronger demo scripts and finalist evaluations
-Avoiding common pitfalls that waste time and lead to poor decisions

Whether you're preparing for a new LMS selection, evaluating replacement options, or simply looking to improve your procurement process, this session provides practical guidance to help you build a more effective RFP and achieve better outcomes.
