Is your training program engaging enough to drive real learning outcomes? In today’s work environment, learners want control over how, when, and what they learn. Offering that flexibility is key to deeper engagement and better retention. At ttcInnovations, we believe learner-centered training is more than a trend—it’s a strategic approach grounded in real-world application. Empowering your learners with choices doesn’t just improve engagement; it boosts retention and directly impacts performance. Check out our latest blog post on how learner-centered training enhances engagement and retention—and to take it a step further, we’ve also created a Customizable Training Program Design Toolkit to help you implement these ideas: ? A Learning Pathway Checklist to guide you in designing programs that align with your learners’ needs and your business goals. ?

L&D leaders—are you making an impact or just checking a box? Corporate training moves fast, and it’s easy to get stuck in the same cycle: launch a course, track completions, move on. But is it actually driving results? On this week’s episode of Learning Matters, we sat down with John Polaschek, Head of Global Learning Solutions at ServiceNow, to talk about what sets high-impact L&D teams apart. Here’s what stood out: → Agility is everything. If your team is still waiting for training requests instead of anticipating business needs, you’re already behind. → Not every problem needs a course. John challenges stakeholders with a simple question: Why do you think training is the solution? Sometimes, a quick job aid or better process is what’s really needed. → If you’re not measuring real impact, you’re guessing. ServiceNow tracks how training affects employees months later—because retention rates and completion numbers don’t tell the full story. → AI isn’t coming—it’s here. John admits he was tired of the AI hype… until he saw it cut content development time in half. If you’re not testing AI in your learning strategy, you’re missing a huge opportunity. → The future? Smarter, faster, more personalized learning. Imagine an AI-powered system that knows you have a big presentation next week and serves up a short, relevant training to help. That’s where we’re headed. “You have to be able to turn on a dime and shift wherever the business is taking itself,” - John Polaschek John shares even more game-changing insights in the full episode—tune in here: https://bit.ly/4i5HD8B. #CorporateTraining #LearningAndDevelopment #BusinessImpact #TTCInnovations #LearningMatters

Be honest, how effective is your corporate training, really? Are employees engaged and learning, or just going through the motions? We’ve seen too many training programs miss the mark because they’re too broad, too rigid, or just not relevant. That’s why we take a different approach: Segment, Customize, and Deliver. Segment – Go beyond job titles. Group employees by skill level, experience, and even mindset. Customize – Give learners what they actually need, when they need it. No more one-size-fits-all. Deliver – Let employees move at their own pace, so learning sticks. Here’s the real question: How do you structure your training to meet employees where they are instead of where you assume they should be?

Most compliance training is forgettable. Click-through slides, generic scenarios, and information overload. But it doesn’t have to be this way. What if compliance training actually helped employees feel prepared to make the right call in real-world situations? In our latest blog, Creative Solutions Lead, Eric Berget explores the Three Ps—Purpose, Personalization, and Practice—that turn mandatory training into meaningful learning: Purpose – Show employees why their decisions matter in the bigger picture Personalization – Make training feel relevant, not generic Practice – Equip employees with real-world decision-making experience When employees can see the real consequences of their choices before they happen, training becomes more than a requirement—it becomes a tool for success. What's the most effective compliance training you've ever experienced—and what made it memorable? Let us know in the comments! ??

Too often, Learning Management Systems are treated as static delivery tools rather than dynamic learning experiences. But what if your corporate learning ecosystem was designed with the learner journey in mind? From blended learning to microlearning, social learning, and adaptive learning, organizations that prioritize the learner experience see higher engagement, retention, and business impact. ? Blended learning – A strategic mix of online, in-person, and reinforcement activities. ? Microlearning – Bite-sized, timely learning moments that reinforce knowledge. ? Social learning – Collaboration through coaching, peer groups, and knowledge-sharing. ? User-generated content – Employees sharing expertise to build a learning culture. ? Adaptive learning – Personalizing content to fit individual learner needs. By integrating these strategies, companies can create engaging, learner-first experiences rather than one-off training sessions. ??
