Strategies for Learning

If you want your learning content to have the best possible impact on your audience, there’s only one thing for it...you need a solid strategy in place! 

Whether your go-to learning method includes videos, images, or something else entirely, starting out with a strategy is the best way to ensure you’re choosing the right medium to deliver training.  

Treion Muller, CEO and Founder of The Modern Learning Architect, is on The Visual Lounge to share his strategy secrets and frameworks for delivering the best learning content. 

He explores the power of video, why your content should be problem-led, not solution-led, and how to measure success and tie metrics to wider business goals.
