8. Business Challenges
in Software Training
• Shifting focus from Formal to In-Formal
Learning
• Transition of traditional instructor-led to
self-service and learning-on-demand
• Market pressures on the time and
costs of instructor-led training
• Realization of the challenges of
knowledge and skill retention
• Challenge to maintain high levels of
usage and proficiency (# of users, and
usage of increased functionality)
• Increased focus on tailored training for
business users

“Automaticity is the ability to do things without occupying
the mind with the low-level details required, allowing it to
become an automatic response pattern or habit. It is
usually the result of learning, repetition, and practice.”
i.e. examples of automaticity are common activities such as walking, speaking, bicycle-
riding, assembly-line work, and driving a car

“…an absolutely
phenomenal enabling tool,
which cut our training
costs by 90% and upped
our adoption from the
typical 40% for new
applications to 95%. 6,500
people trained, less than
200 service calls and less
than 1/3rd of those were
training related.”
“Huge Increase in
Performance. No need for a
training environment -
people learned by show
me/try me (simulations).”

38. Key Considerations
Focus – where will you make the biggest impact?
• i.e. applications with the most users or those that need to most
help
Organizational alignment – do your stakeholders understand
user adoption and are they measured on it?
Establish executive sponsorship and clear revenue
ownership and objectives
Document and communicate success stories
