ABOUT THE PROGRAM
Ringorang: Software with a Performance-First Approach
The relationship between learning and performance has been the Holy Grail for corporate learning professionals for a long time. Think ADDIE framework, Kirkpatrick levels, etc. Most efforts to crack this code have been siloed and focused either on design or measurement. Enter “big learning data”, the relatively new focus on brain-based learning, and the growing role of HR and L&D at the strategy table. These trends have fostered a new generation of tools and techniques to take a run at performance support. But they will rely on more than just learning design and satisfaction assessment. They will use multiple techniques from both the learning and advertising industries. They will engage learners in the flow of work. They will track their learning progress against defined organizational goals. Ringorang, a human performance technology that provides a gamified micro-learning mobile app, is a new user gateway to these techniques. It offers a performance and habit formation design approach that productizes time-tested techniques. The app delivers learning engagement through short but highly curated micro-learning. And Ringorang leverages the power of digital marketing techniques to empower enterprises to manage user engagement.
This program will focus on:
- Summarizing the evolving link between learning and performance support
- Introducing and breaking down the ASK methodology of learning and habit design
- Demonstrating a robust micro-learning engagement tool
- Illustrating application of Ringorang and its performance support approach at IBM Consulting and in other real-life case studies
