Stakeholder interviews that uncover business pain points

Sit with leaders and frontline managers to translate goals into measurable behavioral shifts. Ask where errors happen, which KPIs lag, and what success looks like. Share your interview questions in the comments.

Task and workflow analysis on the shop floor

Shadow employees, map steps, capture screenshots, and time critical actions. Real work reveals friction invisible in conference rooms. What one step slows your team most? Tell us and we’ll suggest a training fix.

Each micro-lesson should promise a single, concrete outcome in five minutes or less. Cut filler, minimize cognitive load, and link to deeper resources. Post your trick for trimming content bloat below.

Microlearning and Just‑in‑Time Performance Support

Place QR codes on equipment, add inline tooltips in CRMs, and provide printable checklists at handoff points. When guidance lives where work happens, errors fall. What job aid saved you today?

Microlearning and Just‑in‑Time Performance Support

Write at an eighth‑grade reading level, front‑load meaning, and use generous white space. Pair text with meaningful visuals and alt text. Share a dense paragraph you’d like simplified; we’ll help rewrite it.

Provide captions for noisy sites, transcripts for quick skimming, and a minimum 4.5:1 contrast ratio. Accessibility aids everyone. What tool do you use for captions? Drop your favorite in the thread.

Optimize for low bandwidth, offline access, and audio‑first experiences. Place key controls within comfortable thumb reach. If your team learns on buses or break rooms, tell us; we’ll share our mobile checklist.

Tell Stories Employees Care About

Create branching paths where choices ripple into outcomes—lost client trust, delayed shipment, improved safety. Offer reflection prompts after each branch. Share a scenario you’d like to adapt; we’ll suggest decision points.

Measure, Learn, Iterate

Track behavior indicators—checklist use, error rates, time‑to‑complete tasks—alongside completion. Visualize trends by team and manager. Interested in our ‘Net Impact’ score? Subscribe and we’ll send the formula and template.

Measure, Learn, Iterate

Experiment with subject lines, video length, interaction density, and send times. Integrate LMS, LRS, and analytics. Post your boldest test idea; we’ll weigh in with power tips and pitfalls.

Rollout and Change Management That Stick

Pilot programs and internal champions

Start small, refine quickly, then scale. Identify respected champions in each function to model behaviors and mentor peers. Want our pilot checklist? Comment ‘pilot’ and we’ll share the playbook.

Communications that earn attention

Lead with outcomes, not features. Use narrative updates, manager talking points, and calendar reminders. What’s your most effective launch message? Drop it below so others can remix and improve.

Governance, ownership, and content lifecycle

Assign owners, set review cadences, and define archival rules. Version content, deprecate the outdated, and keep a single source of truth. Need a governance template? Subscribe for our editable framework.
