Our story...
After 17 years as an entrepreneur in online learning, Willie Maritz gave himself the challenge to solve the BIG PROBLEM in the training and development industry:
How do we actually change behaviours sustainably?
Abraham Maslow said in 1966, “I suppose it is tempting, if the only tool you have is a hammer, to treat everything as if it were a nail.”
The problem in the training industry has always been that the only “tool” we thought we had was the “course”. Even when the technology industry gifted us with a variety of capabilities to facilitate learning, we still get stuck in the concept of a “course”.
What if we could use technology in a different way?
What if we could let learning happen without the typical constraints of a course?
We set out to design a different solution, with the specific objective of achieving sustainable behaviour change.
We based the solution on a broader study of behaviour change, incorporating instructional science, neuro-science, social media science, artificial intelligence, and of course, the “art of the possible” in technology.
The end result...
A fairly simple but highly successful microlearning process, drip-feeding short nuggets of content over a period of time.
The core differentiator here is the fact that the content focuses less on knowledge and skills and more on attitudes, awareness, care and mindset.
When we get this right, behaviours start to align without it having to be enforced. When these behaviours are repeated, they become habits, and habits that are sustained across a target audience become culture.
