Breakout Learning
Traditional training practices are important anchors for long-term skill building, but customized training of just the right skills at the right time for your people and organization (or yourself) can be a frustrating cycle of "chasing" knowledge building while the knowledge is still valuable.
Breakout Learning puts a premium on reducing the time from concept to relevant application. Busy adult learners can learn while doing, building on skills and knowledge they already have.
Iterative, Incremental, Relevant
Breakout learning methods bring faster alignment, better retention, and easier integration of new knowledge into real-world tasks.
Application Areas
Breakout learning techniques can have particularly high impact in a few key areas:
- AI readiness
- Leadership development
- Team capability building
- Onboarding
- Continuous strategic planning when embedded standard practices and tools
We're particularly excited about integrating Breakout Learning into continuous improvement and transformation activities coming out of our standard assessments.
How to get started
To make basic Breakout learning work, you need three key ingredients:
- a learner or learning team
- a current context that would benefit dramatically (now or in the future) from a key skill or capability
- a structured approach to matching current work items to relevant, iterative learning
We start by identifying the skill or capability that will have the most immediate impact on team morale AND objective performance criteria. Then, we design small, actionable learning activities that can be applied directly to real-world tasks. Finally, we create a feedback loop to refine and improve the learning process over time.
