How do you deploy asynchronous training effectively? In today's video, Carina Jones discusses the gift of modern technology to support individualized learning. She mentions a personal situation of having an argument at dinner and being able to quickly prove she's right by looking up the answer on her phone. This scenario isn't all that different from allowing your field teams to train on their mobile devices. Watch the video to get the full scoop! #OpEx #MicroLearning #MobileTraining #AsynchronousTraining #OilandGas

Last week, our own Carina Jones led an impactful workshop at the OpEx conference in Houston, diving deep into strategies to accelerate frontline technology adoption through innovative training approaches. In her session, Carina explored how adults learn best, emphasizing key principles of adult learning theory: ensuring training is accessible and well-delivered, focusing on real-world, problem-centered lessons, and aligning training to what employees actually need to know in the field. In this video, she discusses the power of asynchronous training—a method that can transform outcomes with impressive benefits: ?? Requires 40-60% less employee time ?? Delivers a $30 productivity boost for every $1 invested ?? Improves retention rates from 5% to as high as 60%, compared to face-to-face retention of just 8%-10% ?? Allows nearly 5x more material to be covered without extending training time Stay tuned for part 2, where Carina will reveal strategies for deploying asynchronous training effectively! #OpEx #FrontlineTraining #DigitalAdoption #AsynchronousLearning #AdultLearningTheory

Think about learning (or teaching someone) to ride a bike. You didn't learn to ride a bike sitting down, reading through the steps in a worksheet. You learned by experiencing it. Practicing the actual steps until you got it down. Why should workforce training be any different? Modern adult learners need to practice how they play, which is why scenario based, problem centered training is so important to creating a successful team. Stop training with presentations. Empower your team to practice how you play. #Microlearning #FrontlineTraining #OpEx #FieldServiceTraining

Your software vendor is lying to you. Large-scale tech investments are often crucial to business optimization, but they're not easy to implement (AKA: your vendor is lying). You probably think about all the line items listed below, and each of those pieces takes its own time and money to get ready for launch. But what about getting your frontline to actually adopt the new tech? This is where we come in. Because your software vendor will say adoption is easy... ?? They know it's not. Implementation won't be streamlined, and training won't be frontline-friendly if you rely on your vendor's system or Powerpoint to get your team on board. We don't want your #DigitalTransformation to fail, so let's talk. Get in touch: https://lnkd.in/gMvvz3nC
