Challenge

  • A large collection of unrelated courses that is hard to find and hard to search.
  • Poorly designed courses by internal SMEs who have little or no learning expertise.
  • Courses that don’t engage the learner and are consequently treated by employees as check-the-box exercises.
  • Overlapping titles with no clear delineation of learner audience or recommended sequencing.
  • No easy way for learners (or managers) to identify their training needs and which course(s) meet those needs.
  • No clear guidance on the best path through the courses that meets learners’ needs.
  • A lack of unified branding, structure, and inconsistent “look and feel” of the courses.
  • Learning that lacks a context that reflects the organization’s learning culture (if they even have one); the courses are often off-the-shelf and generic in approach.
