Implement Curated Learning
Take a modern approach to L&D that gives learners the right content at the right time.
- The way people learn has changed as technology and personal preferences evolve. Learners are more likely to access content on their own, without the support of Learning & Development (L&D).
- Keeping up with change can be overwhelming for employees as the amount of available content is expanding exponentially, providing too much information to sift through to quickly to find what they need.

Our Advice
Critical Insight
- Curated learning is part of a L&D transformation needed to keep pace with the way people work today, support agility within organizations, and allow learners to access and share the right content at the right time.
- Go where your learner already is by designing your curated learning program with the learner top of mind – they will determine the program’s success by either returning to the program or continuing to source their own content.
Impact and Result
- Implement curated learning for the organization to point learners to the most relevant information from multiple sources and make it easily available to the right audience at the right time.
- Design a curation framework for your organization through a clear understanding of how content will be curated and how employees will engage with the content. Shift the role of L&D from a creator of content to a curator to enable productivity gains by highlighting relevant content for employee development.
