LearnSomething Welcomes New Vice President of Business Development
Experienced eLearning and Change Management Executive to Lead Association Division
LearnSomething Inc. today announced that Robert Burroughs has joined the company’s management team as Vice President of Business Development for Associations.
With more than a decade in providing many Fortune 500 companies – from Ford Motor Company to King Pharmaceuticals – and U.S. defense and armed forces sectors with strategic guidance in developing and implementing eLearning systems and large-scale initiatives, Burroughs will focus on developing scalable solutions for the most pressing challenges of LearnSomething’s association clients.
“Robert’s success with a broad range of learning systems and diverse clientele makes him a rare find,” says Steve Roden, LearnSomething’s CEO. “He’s demonstrated a superior talent for understanding a client’s unique needs and responding with a reality-based solution. In addition to having technology and systems expertise, he’s also scored many successes in change management, which is an often-misunderstood and essential part of the large-scale projects we support. And he fits our own management model of being a hands-on manager who’s going to challenge our team to innovate while providing technical know-how.”
“Sometimes the perfect spot for your skill set and experience opens up — and I feel like this is one of those opportunities,” says Burroughs. “LearnSomething’s track record of focusing on business solutions – and utilizing rather than being ruled by technologies – fits my own approach and will make for a good match.”

LearnSomething’s dedicated workforce and unwavering commitment to providing innovative products and services to clients have led the company to the top, or more specifically, to No. 3367 of the 5000 list of companies that are “doing well despite—or because of—the downturn.”

LearnSomething to Showcase AMS-LMS Integration at Upcoming NiUG Discovery Conference
Tallahassee, FL, August 28, 2009 — LearnSomething, a recognized leader in association learning services, will be attending the NiUG Discovery Conference at Baltimore’s Hyatt Regency on the Inner Harbor, September 28-30, 2009.
LearnSomething’s e-learning services and solutions have attracted keen interest at AMS user group conferences because of the plug and play approach to full integration LearnSomething has continually worked to achieve. LearnSomething has developed close partner relationships with ASI and other major AMS providers.
Mark Lambertson, LearnSomething’s Vice President for Association and Channel Sales, recognizes that seamless integration with any AMS is an absolute must. “We’ve been committed to understanding what e-learning means from an association’s perspective from the beginning — and being in constant direct contact with the AMS user community allows us to be in sync with the latest advancements and challenges.”
Lambertson points out that most LMS developers started out building a solution for HR departments and not associations, so until they entered into the association market they did not understand that the AMS-LMS relationship is essential. “If the LMS doesn’t support single sign on, seamless integration with e-business, real time reporting of learning activity and automated transfer of data to the AMS out of the box, an association’s e-learning initiative could easily be compromised before it really gets going.”
