As 2017 concludes, organizations typically plan learning development initiatives for the coming year. Companies often balance aspirations for better results with the need to engage employees more meaningfully. A fundamental shift is necessary: training content designed for real people achieving real results must consider both company objectives and audience needs during design and development.

Consider a practical case: an organization targets 30% revenue growth and needs to build new sales skills. However, the sales team must remain in the field, limiting availability for traditional workshops. With comparable budgets and reduced face-time, a performance shift becomes necessary.

The solution involves technology-enabled content delivery. Sales teams could access learning materials before meetings covering new selling approaches, presentation styles, product features, and positioning statements on-demand. This approach accommodates fast-paced workflows, delivering "easily consumable, need-to-know chunks of knowledge" that team members actually use in real situations, benefiting both employees and the organization.
