Adaptive Learning

Adaptive learning, also known as adaptive teaching, uses algorithms to orchestrate the interaction with the learner and deliver customized resources and learning activities to address the unique needs of each learner.

Design Thinking

Design Thinking is a design methodology that provides a solution-based approach to solving problems.

It’s extremely useful in tackling complex problems that are ill-defined or unknown, by understanding the human needs involved, by re-framing the problem in human-centric ways, by creating many ideas in brainstorming sessions, and by adopting a hands-on approach in prototyping and testing.

Spaced Learning

Spaced Learning is a learning method in which highly condensed learning content is repeated three times, with two 10-minute breaks during which distractor activities such as physical activities are performed by the students.

Learning at the Point of Work

Peer Mentoring

Peer mentoring can offer employees a valuable source of support and information in the workplace.

Mentees may feel more comfortable learning from a peer than in a hierarchical setting. Mentors as well as mentees may also benefit from the bonds they form with colleagues.

Coaching, Trust & Positive Work Intentions

Good leadership is critical in business today.

After all, it is leaders who help employees set

goals, make sure that those goals are in

alignment with overall corporate strategy, and

are responsible for providing the direction and

support that employees need to succeed at

work on a daily basis.

An analysis of 200+ companies using Blanchard’s

Leadership Training ROI methodology found that

poor leadership practices cost the typical

organization an amount equal to 7% of their total

annual sales each year due to their negative impact

on employee retention, customer satisfaction, and

employee productivity.*

* The Ken Blanchard Companies, Making the Business Case for Leadership Development: The 7% Differential (Escondido, CA: The Ken Blanchard Companies, 2011).

Blanchard ROI Worksheet makes the business case for leadership training in three areas

• Employee Retention—better leadership practices can reduce voluntary turnover by 15%

• Customer Satisfaction—better leadership practices can improve customer satisfaction scores by 3% (which is typically equal to 1% of sales!)

• Employee Productivity—better leadership practices can improve employee productivity by at least 5%
