The business environment where we expect our training organizations and their learning solutions to drive human performance has changed. For starters, the velocity at which business operations must adapt and respond in order to remain competitive has mandated something new from our training efforts – an unprecedented need for agility. This demand for increased agility implies a greater sense of urgency in creating readiness in the workforce – readiness to be as responsive to change as the business operations they are responsible to sustain. Sadly, our traditional training paradigms do precious little to ensure sustained capability as tangible outcomes. The catalyst for changing our outcomes rest in one simple fact – The accelerated velocity of business has blown the doors off traditional training’s ability to keep pace. Compound the impact of today’s business speed on learning demands with training’s limited scope of discovery, outmoded design models, and inefficient use of technology, and we see the formation of the perfect storm. The time for re-invention is now – before the storm breaks.

Traditionally, improving knowledge and skills have been foundational to the charter of most training organizations, and there is nothing wrong with that; nor, will that need ever disappear. Knowledge and skill improvements are critical; however, they represent only the seeds of what we ultimately expect to manifest as tangible human performance outcomes. However, training must expand its role to ensure that learning is available and effective in the work context—when the need for knowledge is critical for success.  Being effective in the work context represents a new paradigm for traditional training organizations who must respond by expanding their scope to include a more holistic look at serving the entirety of the learning environment beyond the formal training domain.  This expanded learning domain dramatically changes the rules of engagement and promotes the assertion that treating learning holistically across an ecosystem will better serve training’s contribution to business sustainability.  

MYCA Multimedia & Training Solutions recognizes the true value realized from a training solution lies well beyond flattering course evaluations, positive test scores, and high completion rates. Our solutions consider the work environment and the importance of learner performance within the confines of his/her role in the organization. Holistic design drives robust solutions that expand our scope of impact into the work context where we expect course graduates to apply their newly gained knowledge and skills. MYCA accomplishes this outcome through a technique we call Immersive Learning. Our solutions immerse the learner into highly interactive multimedia scenarios where they make decisions as a member of a work team throughout the formal on-line learning experience. A key point of differentiation for any MYCA solution is realized when we also immerse the learning solution into the client’s post-training work context via an innovative reinforcement methodology called Reality Bytes^TM. Reality Bytes provide post-training reinforcement in the form of three-to-four minute interactive learning objects that test learner retention while they are in their work context; provide immediate remediation when necessary; seamlessly track responses; and provide participation results to accurately guide future follow-up.

How far into the work context  does your formal learning reach? If your solutions do not seamlessly integrate into the post-training work context, consider the partnership of Human Performance Outfitters & MYCA Multimedia & Training Solutions as a resource to enable a learning ecosystem in your organization.
