"Skillsoft's strategy for years was to be the 'one-stop shopping' for corporate online content," writes Josh Bersin. After a pile of acquisitions (NetG, Books 24×7, SumTotal, ElementK, MindLeaders, 50 Lessons, Vodaclic) it found itself declining in  popularity and unable to innovate. But with a recent restructuring of its debt (by converting it to equity) it is ready to reposition itself. A few years ago it launched Percipio, a new learning experience platforms (LXP). It refocused on marketing and launched some new product initiatives, such as 'leadercamps'. To me these seem more superficial than anything, but it probably won't take a lot to re-establish its hold on the corporate training market since, as Josh Bersin says, that market is currently red hot.
