Embedding the Learning AFTER Training with Behavioural Economics
Training rarely fails because people didnā€™t understand the content. It fails because good intentions fade once people return to their daily work. In this short talk, we explore how insights from behavioral economics can help learning designers extend the life of training beyond the classroom. By shaping the environment around learners through cues, defaults, nudges, and reinforcement, organizations can make the desired behavior easier, more visible, and more likely to stick.
Takeaway: Learning lasts when the environment supports the behavior.
