George’s need...
In the digital age, managers like George are constantly seeking innovative ways to enhance the training and development of their teams. Employees crave skills improvement, but learning solutions can be time consuming.
The Challenge of Traditional Learning
Traditional, skills assessment methods are increasingly proving to be inefficient in a fast-paced work environment. The lack of time, overwhelming choices, and poor usability (like too many clicks) lead to what's known as 'learner friction points'. These factors contribute to decreased engagement and retention, hindering the learning process.
