Industries and use cases
Buying requirements, capabilities to look for, evaluation criteria and the questions that decide the outcome, by industry and use case.
Retail and Frontline Operations
Frontline learning is a distribution problem before it is a content problem. A shift-based workforce with 40 percent turnover cannot be reached by scheduled classroom sessions, so the design question is how to deliver short, specific, repeated content to people who are working while they learn..
