Conceptual Design for a Modern Learning Journey
The Client Need
" We needed a modern solution for our global workforce training program that provided rapid skilling with bite-sized learnings, allowing for participant-led learning and discovery, and providing increased and on-going support for participants."
- Global Restaurant Chain
The Design
To tease out details and specifics of their needs, Socratic Arts reviewed and analyzed focus group data and conducted site visits to garner first-hand data and information. Through client collaboration and iteration, Socratic Arts developed an initial conceptual design that was presented to global focus groups and revised per feedback.
Audience: Global workforce of new hires & rehires, ages 16 – 60+
Issues Solved For: Time and scheduling; committed coaches; language barriers; practical resources; an unrepresentative eLearning platform
The Details
Socratic Arts proposed a new design to influence behavior change, create authentic a-ha moments, and build competence, confidence, and pride in the brand, which could improve trainee retention. This design is a new, learner-led experience supported by a trainer. Key differences include:
- Training modules are bite-sized. 
- Trainees choose learning modality. (E.g., videos, games, simulations, infographics, and other emerging technology). 
- Trainees learn and practice in digital environments where it’s safe to fail, leading to increased confidence when they try in real life. 
- A virtual guide offers continuity and encouragement. 
- Basic modules use a "less is more" mindset so trainees find success quickly. 
- Advanced modules encourage a continuous learning mindset and build a desire for career growth at client company.
