An engineering company utilizes two learning management systems (LMSs): one manages technical training, and the other manages professional development (or non-technical training) for all of the company's engineers. Over time, changes in reporting requirements have caused the use of two different systems to be difficult and time-consuming. It has been decided that a new LMS is to be selected, with a goal of improving the time constraints of using training information from both systems. A talent development (TD) professional is put in charge of facilitating the selection and implementation of the new LMS.

After completing the research process, the TD professional develops a strong business case to recommend LMS Provider A. A few days before the recommendation is presented to the executive leadership team, the TD professional's supervisor hears about LMS Provider Z at a networking meeting and suggests that the TD professional consider Provider Z, which was not included in the TD professional's analysis.
