A new way to curate digital learning

Many L&D teams are rightly sceptical of digital learning vendors who offer thousands of content options. They know that people won’t have the time nor the inclination to search through endless learning categories to find the resources they need. Offering choice a good thing. But if there’s too much choice, people can easily get lost in a mountain of content.

What’s needed is a new way to curate content, by focusing on the challenge that individuals are facing. When people speak to their family and friends, they don’t say “my team need a project management course”; they say “it’s chaos at work and no one knows what they’re doing.” They air the ‘problem’, not the solution. Learning content should be curated to address specific problems: if this is the challenge you’re facing, these are the resources you need.
