L&D is the fuel that powers organizational performance, and a critical piece of the business optimization puzzle. When you consider the global corporate training market is valued at over $150 billion annually and growing at 8% YoY, it's clear that L&D is a priority.
The disconnect is that for all the effort and investment in training workshops, online courses, classes, and corporate events (sales kick-offs, team building etc), there’s still a disappointing trend with how little learning actually sticks, how loosely it’s integrated, and how poorly it's applied to effectively move the needle.
The short answer is many L&D experiences aren’t set up to engage learners in appropriate degrees of practice, feedback, or exploration. Learners are told a lot of things, but struggle to move beyond the lower levels of learning with little motive, means or opportunity to fully understand and apply the lessons. The learning cycle is cut short by a host of factors from time constraints, travel, budgets, and competing priorities to something as simple as not knowing what to do next. Even if there is a plan, not having a system in place to execute that plan is one of the most challenging things L&D practitioners face.
As a result, "Good luck with that" often becomes the default modus operandi after the training has been delivered box is checked.
From an administration perspective, about 70% of the energy and effort that goes into a typical instructor-led training engagement is spent in the planning phase. Getting the content ready, identifying the delivery method, securing an instructor, communicating with the participants, and on, and on.
About 25% of the energy and effort goes into the actual delivery. The big event. The moment all of the planning and coordinating comes together to deliver the lessons to the learners.
Unfortunately that doesn't leave much to spend on arguably the most important phase - what to do next. The transference of knowledge, skills and behaviors from lecture to lab where application, practice and feedback yields measurable business results.
Our unique approach combines engaging, experiential learning delivery methods with technology to extend the learning, extend the feedback and conversations, and help people actually get something out of the time spent in training.
Changency leverages an online tool that allows L&D practitioners to seamlessly add a structured, stand alone system of practice, feedback and exploration to any learning experience. It's turnkey. It's simple and it requires very little energy or effort to continue to keep learners engaged, and reminded of their purpose.
The app-based tool extends traditional learning engagements past the initial delivery, promotes ongoing peer-to-peer engagement and collaborative learning around the topic, uses a drip content method to reinforce and expand concepts which aids in retention and mastery, and leverages social and gamification approaches to make it all fun and engaging.
This is truly the differentiating factor, and something you've been missing.
