      BrainStorm vs LinkedIn Learning

      BrainStorm is the employee development solution for today's technology-fueled workplace.

      BrainStorm-vs-Linkedin-learning-Hero_Web

      In today’s world, technology fuels everything to do with work—
      employee enablement, professional development, organizational culture, compliance training, productivity and performance, and an employee’s sense of workplace connection.

      And yet—employees only adopt 10-20% of their licensed technology.

      While giving employees access to as much learning content as possible may seem like the best way to meet everyone’s needs, the vast majority of employees are simply too time-strapped to prioritize learning enough to seek it out on their own. 

      Solution overview

      While both offer employee learning experiences, BrainStorm and LinkedIn Learning are different solutions, solving for different challenges—in critically distinct ways.

      As LinkedIn Learning seeks to add more and more creators, videos, and courses to its site, BrainStorm instead focuses on refining the science for how to target, reach, and sustainably engage employees with their technology.
