What gives organizations more value, Story-lined Training or Conventional Training?

The simple answer? It depends.

But what does it depend on? The task at hand.

If you are aiming for skills-based training, a story-lined training can be highly engaging & effective. However, for behavioral training, conventional methods might yield deeper & more sustainable results – provided participants already possess a foundational level of productivity.

Look at it this way. Skills-based trainings prepare you for today while the behavioral trainings equip you for tomorrow.

Why Story-lined Training Works?

Traditional skills training can often feel time-consuming, overwhelming and uninspiring. On the other hand, stories naturally engage us – whether it’s a gripping web series or a powerful TED talk or an inspiring tale shared at work.

Imagine a workplace without stories – no shared experiences, no engaging townhalls, no watercooler conversations. Would we truly connect with our work? Would we even retain what we learn?

This is precisely why story-lined training transforms learning. When mundane, repetitive content like SOPs, manuals, PDFs, PPTs, Word, Excel documents is re-imagined as a story, it becomes:

·???????? More Relatable – Learners connect emotionally with real world scenarios

·???????? More Memorable – As per psychologist Jerome Bruner’s research, stories are remembered up to 20 times more than fact alone

·???????? More Impactful – Employees retain & apply knowledge effectively

A Win-Win For All Types of Learners

The beauty of story-lined training lies is that it caters to all 3 types of learners:

·???????? Visual Learners – Absorb information through videos & diagrams

·???????? Auditory Learners – Retain concepts via narration & discussions

·???????? Kinesthetic Learners – Form emotional connections & learn by doing

Instead of 1 group of learners excelling, organizations see improved training outcomes across all learning styles – resulting in higher ROI on training investments.
