The need for higher employee performance
“Organizations need on average 27% higher
employee performance to reach their goals.
However work is more complex, interconnected
and dynamic than ever before.”
Succeeding in this environment is not about doing
more things. It’s about doing things differently.”
Corporate Executive Board

“for more than 99 percent of our
evolutionary history, we lived as
foragers … on a camping trip that
never ends, but one without
Swiss Army knives and freeze-
dried pasta.”

Learning is our greatest tool of survival and adaption
We instinctively pay attention to and learn from:

• People
• Movement
• Change
• Repetition
• Trying to remember

Learning is our greatest tool of survival and adaption
We instinctively pay attention to and learn from:
• Threat/shock – personal relevance is key
• People – tell stories, ask questions, use faces
• Movement – part of the appeal of video
• Change – use change and variation for emphasis
• Repetition – use spaced learning
• Trying to remember – use retrieval practice
