Millennials, technology, and the economy are having a profound impact on retail, service, and hospitality industries. As industries change, your business needs to change with them or risk being left behind.

At Area9 Learning, we know that when your business has thousands of employees and only a few training managers, it’s probably difficult to find a training platform that teaches at scale, gets employees up to speed fast, and still allows you to maintain the level of control you need to ensure your organization’s standards are met.

 If your corporate e-learning program doesn’t positively impact your business, then what’s the point? Adaptive Learning brings with it maximum business impact: it benefits the learner and your business making it more effective than traditional corporate learning programs.

Much as Adaptive Learning improves retail employee training by saving staff time away from the sales floor, Adaptive Learning improves hospitality staff training. 

If there is one disadvantage to Adaptive Learning, it’s that there are a lot of new terms to learn in order to understand how the Adaptive Learning process works.

Unconscious incompetence is not knowing what you don’t know. And when you take action based on a misperception, it can be hazardous. It’s a problem that affects every industry and every business.

Adaptive Learning technology can be used in any corporate learning scenario. But here’s a snapshot of a few industries who are killing it with adapted technology.

How Much Is Training For All Your Employees Costing You?

Many business leaders have mixed feelings about traditional e-learning (maybe you’re one of them).

Employees want to do training, but don’t always see it as a priority - especially because online training is often boring.

It’s not as hard as you think to make the transition from your traditional corporate training programs to Adaptive Learning. From working with subject matter experts and curating your learning content, to creating learning objectives (LOs), to authoring probes (questions), and compiling learning resources, Area9 makes the transition from traditional e-learning to Adaptive Learning easy.

Formative assessment - or teaching by asking questions - sets Adaptive Learning software apart from traditional corporate learning delivery methods.
