Prebuilt Role-Based Content for Talent Development at Scale

The Talent Challenge of the Modern Business

Personalization is no longer a perk in the modern workplace it's a necessity. Workers in departments and locations worldwide require learning that is tailored to their own unique jobs, roles, and career aspirations. For L&D teams, however, implementing personalized development programs at scale to hundreds or thousands of learners is often a logistical nightmare.

Imbed prebuilt role-based content: an effective, efficient solution that accelerates talent development at scale without compromising on quality or relevance.

What Is Role-Based Training and Why Does It Matter?

Role-based training is a learning strategy where course content is created to match up with competencies, activities, and objectives of a specific job role. Whether creating a frontline sales associate or an engineering manager, content must reach learners where they are.

Why it matters:‍

• Maximizes learner engagement with work-relevant knowledge
• Reduces effort and time to learn
• Enhances performance by closing actual, role-based competency gaps

The targeted intervention enables the organization to remove content overload and create effective learning paths for upskilling and career development.

The Challenge: Scaling Customized Training

Creating personalized content per individual job role is time-consuming, resource-draining, and costly. Distributed teams across geographies and multiple job functions create difficulties for organizations to cope with the stress of:

• Accelerating onboarding cycles
• Continuous upskilling and reskilling
• Dynamic Role changes and competency updates

The result? L&D teams are stretched in all directions, and learners end up with generic or outdated learning modules.

The Solution: Prebuilt Role-Based Content

Role-based pre-curated content are pre-curated learning pieces tied to job roles and skill sets. Instructional designers create them and continually update them at a periodic cycle to synchronize with the current business issues, technologies, and learners' requirements.

Benefits are:

• Quicker time to deploy: Just-in-time content accelerates onboarding and upskilling.
• Flexible: Create hundreds or thousands at zero extra cost of production.
• Consistent: Maintain quality and learning consistency by geography and role.
