This is a useful report for anyone in Learning & Development.
The technology employed to deliver Learning and Development has grown increasingly varied and complex. The cloud, social tools, mobile technologies, and other advances have created a host of opportunities for new learning experiences – so much so that technology has become the top L&D priority. Exploring new and different technologies surpassed even the learning strategy as the top focus over the next 12 months.
Brandon Hall Group has been researching learning technology for years, and mobile and social have been steadily climbing the priority list. Now, they sit firmly on the top, and organizations are hungry for platforms that leverage new technologies to allow for a more “just-in-time, just-for-me” learning experience. While the LMS accounts for about 39% of the learning technology budget on average, companies are still spending averages of 4.7% and 4.3% on social and mobile technologies, respectively.
That’s on top of the money they are already spending on their LMS, and more than one-third of companies expect those percentages to grow over the next year.

That's a great share, Mike. On a macro level, I'd take a look at the 2016 Internet Trends report. This shows why organisations need to be investing in the likes of video.
