At the core of Story Lessons is interactive stories and how they engage and help learners discover relevance and quick application of ideas. However, learning designers, developers and leaders miss the multiple and varied applications of interactive stories and how they promote performance on the job. They think of interactive stories as "telling a long story." Far from it!  The fact is, each interactive story is the fabric that combines  experiences and real-applications in work situations. It helps learners see the human side (real life),  significant value and immediate application of content in their jobs.

When you have millennials in your audience, you don't want your training to look old-fashioned. But if you aren't a designer, you may not be aware that design has changed drastically in the last 5 years, mostly due to the exploding use of small screens.

In a people economy, talent is the key factor that brings competitive advantage.  This holds true across all areas of the business—call centers, auditors, researchers, sales, etc.  Leadership is no exception.  Unfortunately, the leadership pipeline for many organizations is running low.  Less than 30% of business units have the leaders required to meet the future needs of the organization. In addition, nearly one-third of HR leaders would replace members of their senior leadership team if given the opportunity.

Work looks completely different today than it did just a generation ago. Where we work looks different, how we work has changed, and the skills any given employee needs are evolving faster than we can keep up.
