Combatting knowledge fade in training to maximise your ROI

In our previous blog, we introduced the importance of bridging the gap between training and learning, we explored the need of combatting knowledge fade in training to maximise your ROI. We introduced our partner Elephants don’t forget, who with the help of Clever Nelly, their Artificially Intelligent app, are able to guarantee that what you train your employees they actually learn and retain.

Last year they oversaw 54 million individual knowledge interventions in more than 30 countries and 14 different languages, the results of which showed that the average workplace knowledge amongst new-to-Nelly users was just 52%. In other words, they answered every other question, that their employee believes they should know, incorrectly. What would it mean to your business if you were actually able to quickly identify those areas of risk and, with the help of Nelly, close the competency gaps and improve the overall knowledge of your workforce?

Nelly is having a real impact on organisation’s results – read some great customer case studies.

Nelly’s artificial intelligence allows her to adjust the question intensity and subject matter to focus on an individual employee’s weaknesses, whilst all the time maintaining a light touch on areas of strength. This method ensures individuals don’t become disengaged and that their actual knowledge improves over time. This supports organisations to drive performance, productivity and compliance as, after all, we cannot reasonably expect an employee to act on what they have been trained but not yet learned.
