The Science of Understanding

There is huge value in an organisation where employees have an understanding of their role, what is expected of them, and what the organisation is driving towards. We are a catalyst for this. We build end-to-end strategic learning and change solutions for you so that your business performs better. Change is driven by understanding. Understanding is achieved through learning.

We have developed a simple model of how to get people to understand. We call it the Science of Understanding.

5 simple steps to move people from A to B and Close the Understanding Gap.

1  –  Identify the Significant Gap
2  –  An Audience who need to get from A to B
3  –  Understandable Content
4  –  Apply the patterns that work
5  –  Deliver the “Aha” moment

A Significant Gap

Every organisation has gaps.

These gaps are often what is standing in the way of the organisation achieving its goals. We hunt these gaps down and close them with Understanding. Closing these gaps will deliver a change to the performance of your people, we call this Gapenomics. We will shift behaviour in order to shift your bottom line.

CLOSING THE GAP

An Audience who needs to get from A to B

Every organisation on earth is made up of people. Most organisations
(we actually think it is all) have people who have a gap in their Knowledge, Skills or Attitude. The trends we see are that these gaps are almost always linked to competence: Gaps manifest in a reduction in productivity and disengagement. 


Visible traits would typically be:

  • They don’t know
  • They don’t understand
  • They are frustrated, uninterested or unmotivated

In our experience, all three are often linked.

Understandable content

What do they NEED to know to Close the Gap?

 

 

Need help with your Understandable Content →

Once you know who you are talking to the next step is understanding what they need to know. We call this Understandable Content.


Understandable content is rooted in two things,
The Gap it is designed to fill and the audience it needs to move from A to B. The first step is a clear link to The Gap, put another way, what is the business challenge. This is translated into a clear and simple learning outcome. The thing your people need to understand to deliver their Aha moment and close The Gap.

Patterns that work

We understand how to get people to understand

The next step is to deliver your Understandable Content in an intentional and engaging way. We believe adult learning is simple; don’t tell them. If people figure it out for themselves they learn faster and retain it longer. Good learning is engaging and novel. No one likes to feel stupid. So when people do not understand they often keep quiet. We make it meaningful and easy to understand so that people get it. 


We design the patterns of the learning depending on the audience and the business objectives. Are they the people who are doing it or do they just need to know about it. What do the time frames, business context and the learning environment look like? We look to see if we are delivering theory or teaching people to apply. Based on all this, we create a blend of learning delivered with the right tools. We know that when you make the experience fun and interactive people can learn without learning.

PATTERNS THAT WORK

The Aha moment

We live for the Aha moment.

Moments where you can actually see the look on people’s faces when they get it. A light goes on. Our impact is adoption, where we close the significant gap by moving people from A to B.

Proper engagement requires seeing and feeling. We’ve designed heightened learning for over a million people, in 20+ countries, for 18+ years.

 

Let’s discuss your Aha moment
