The VUCA and agile world coupled with reducing attention span has disrupted the space of learning. This paradigm shift has changed the outlook towards learning engagements – a shift from event-based to learning journeys that are spaced out. Learning, like everything else today, also needs to be personalized. HR and L&OD professionals have realized that “one-size-fits-all approach” is ineffective in learning.
Strengthscape and Skillsoft’s partnership will help organizations adapt to these strengths. Our offerings complement each other and provide a comprehensive learning solution through blended learning. This approach effectively engages people in a personalised learning journey through different modalities and improves adoption of learning initiatives.

HOW DOES OUR PARTNERSHIP BENEFIT THE CLIENT?
The Strengthscape and Skillsoft Blended Learning Design is a comprehensive, customizable learning path which caters to the need of both the business and the learners.
Discover
The learning journey begins with a thorough need analysis to understand the learners, their performance and learning gaps, desired level of performance, roles and responsibilities and various other factors, that are critical to personalise the learning path. Various psychometric assessment tools by Strengthscape are used in this stage. The Discover segment sets the stage to define the competencies which have to be worked.
Promote
Learning adoption and commitment are critical for learning effectiveness. Therefore, our design ensures that the learning journey is promoted, learners are motivated at intervals, using various marketing and communication collaterals customized and designed by Strengthscape.
Enable
Strengthscape’s strength of delivering live virtual and classroom instructor-led sessions, (instructional design based content development, and high-skilled facilitation and coaching), along with Skillsoft’s innovative, well-researched, brain research-based, digital learning assets, complement and combine at this stage, to provide learning as an efficient, engaging and effortless learning experience.
Assess
Learning cannot occur unless a change in behavior, (driven through knowledge and skills), is observed. Therefore, there is a need to assess any needle movement that may indicate learning effectiveness and suggest improvements in the way forward.
Celebrate
All of us must make the time to celebrate accomplishments, whether big or small. All the time and effort invested by the learners to develop themselves, must be acknowledged and celebrated by capturing the key takeaways, concrete action plans and commitment to the next step in the learning journey.
Reinforce
Learning is a continuous process and shouldn’t stop even when the instructor is not around. Access to Skillsoft’s library along with engaging features for the modern learner, encourages learners to sustain their development journeys.
This integrated offering can be further personalized based on the learning need and target audience. One or more of the Skillsoft solutions described below, may be used in this integrated journey to develop critical competencies.
