All too often compliance training takes up too much time, is costly to implement, and is not optimally designed. Worse yet, learners forget up to 75% of what they learned within 30 days.

We seem to know what "experience" is. But we fail to create experiences that impact results.    Learning Experience (LEx) beliefs, practices and tools are distinct from the usual ADDIE (Analyze, Design, Development, Implement and Evaluate) methods. Experience is learning by discovery. ADDIE tends to be learning by instruction. The biggest challenge in designing Learning Experience Projects that impact performance is that we tend to use instruction toolkits, skills, and mindsets - not discovery and experimentation.  Furthermore, we have yet to evolve as designers into being architects for experiences. Naturally, there is a disconnect. This results in frustration.
