Are workplace learning programmes sufficiently business focused? A new consultancy thinks not and aims to help.

When faced with countless options, L&D professionals may feel compelled to create elaborate learning experiences. These often include gamification, interactivity, microlearning, and multi-modal content. While these innovations have their place, overcomplicating the learning process can lead to fatigue—for both creators and learners.
 
A new learning services consultancy launched last week. Why is this news, there are a great many learning consultancies?
 
The market is changing. Developing fabulous, engaging experiences is a given these days. Top of mind for L&D pros are also communications and marketing, wider digital transformation and business alignment, and for vendors: commercialisation, market positioning and sales enablement.
 
Fulfilling these business needs is likely to determine the success of new workplace learning products and programmes.
 
Nicole Horsman, who until recently was part of the senior team at Netex, thinks she’s identified the key issues and has set up Embed Learning to deliver on the business needs of both L&D teams and vendors. Nicole explains all on Learning News.
