Few topics get people less excited than insurance. Some cringe in frustration. Others yawn with boredom. Yet we all know in our heart of hearts that insurance is a necessity. This is especially true if you have experienced a major “hometrastrophe,” been rear-ended or needed an expensive medical treatment. Many organizations think of their training as a form of insurance against things like poor employee performance, regulatory fines, and the risk of talented employees leaving their

At its core, a common scenario isn’t that difficult to craft: tell a story, ask the learner what they want to do about it, and let them know how they did. To craft a meaningful scenario, however, there are four areas—four ‘Cs’ to be specific—that you need to strategically design. Choices. Consequences. Connections. Corrections. Are you maximizing all of them?

By incorporating various touch-points through a learner’s online course journey you are letting them know that they are not alone and that you care about their success. This also goes a long way in creating a sense of community – and in the lonely world of online learning this is always a welcomed change.

by Shane Lueck. It’s time to face the facts; traditional training is broken. Traditional training methods might provide very short-term performance gains, but knowledge retention is minimal, leading to a skills gap. It’s no secret that many corporate training programs aren’t cutting it these days. They are often boring, ineffective, and treat training as a one-off event instead of a process.

The idea of gamification often feels way too good to be true. A training method that promises increased engagement and produces learners that actually want to access materials and content? It’s no wonder that organizations are quick to jump on the gamification bandwagon. Unfortunately, poorly-planned gamification almost always falls flat, leaving learners bored and administrators wondering where they went wrong.

“Change” and “transformation” are not the same thing in organizations. Think about water. It can heat up for a very long time without it ever “transforming.” But when it reaches a certain temperature and boils, it transforms from liquid into steam. In the same way, change in organizations is often like water just below the boiling point. Change initiatives disrupt the predictable status quo, create an environment that seems chaotic, and bring people’s stress levels and emotions to their boiling
