"Learning by doing" – this time-tested learning concept is persuasive in many situations but often falls short in corporate training. Until now that is! With Masterplan PACE, your employees can now immediately apply their theoretical knowledge into practice. But what exactly is effective learning transfer through personalized AI coaching – discover in this article exactly how it works.
In an era where technologies and work requirements are constantly evolving, continuous training is essential. However, for maximum learning success, it's crucial that employees can actionably apply the training content in their daily work.
How can it be ensured that the learned knowledge is not only absorbed but also effectively translated into action, turning knowledge into genuine skills?
Learning Transfer: The Key to Effective Upskilling
Training should not only convey theoretical content but also enable employees to apply this knowledge in practice. Successful upskilling hinges on learning transfer.
This is evident from Will Thalheimer's Learning Transfer Evaluation Model and is confirmed by scientific studies: For employees to actively apply their knowledge at work after training, the transfer design of training sessions plays a crucial role.
However, many companies struggle at this point. According to the German Institute for Adult Education, learning transfer only occurs in 34% of all training activities.
Conversely, this means that nearly two-thirds of employees do not learn to apply the taught knowledge in practice. A positive change in behaviour in the daily work routine often fails to materialize after training, yet this is precisely the purpose of every training session!
So, how can this learning transfer be achieved within the company, enabling employees to make the leap from mere "Know-what" to applicable "Know-how"?
Personalized AI Coaching with Masterplan PACE
This is where our new feature, Masterplan PACE, comes into play. PACE is our personalized AI coaching for effective learning transfer.
All employees can now immediately apply their acquired knowledge from video lessons directly in practice on our Learning Engagement Platform, in three simple steps:
- After selected video lessons, a chat starts relevant to the course content. PACE takes on a specific persona and poses a task from the real work environment. Some examples include a price negotiation with a potential client or a conflict situation with an employee.
- An authentic conversation unfolds. PACE probes the learner further, as it wants to know more details, or evaluate the responses constructively. Learners must utilize the newly acquired knowledge from the previous course and can directly apply it in practice.
- Employees can ask questions at any time and receive immediate assistance until everything is understood, and the task is resolved. Masterplan PACE thus adapts to all learning levels and coaches employees according to their individual learning needs.
Through personalized AI coaching, a learning environment is created that is tailored to each employee, fostering not only learning but also direct implementation in the daily work routine.
Two scenarios can be distinguished:
3 Practical Examples: Learning with Masterplan PACE
The following examples briefly illustrate what learning with Masterplan PACE looks like for employees in your company. They also highlight the range of applications that make the AI coach relevant for all colleagues in the company – from sales staff to data analysts to leaders.
1. Applying Knowledge Concretely
Each exercise starts with an intro, clarifying the context, the goal, and the coach's role. In this example, PACE takes on the role of Maria, a potential customer. PACE begins a sales conversation with learning sales staff, where they must apply the content from the course "UNFCK SALES – Sales Psychology" directly.
2. Reflecting on Learned Content
Following a lesson from the Masterplan course "From Numbers to Aha Moments – Making Sense of Data", PACE, in the guise of Rita, confronts employees with the course content, challenging them with critical questions to apply their newly acquired data literacy to concrete examples. Learners can freely respond, allowing for a realistic conversation to develop.
3. Receiving Immediate Assistance
Masterplan PACE is always ready to support learners, as shown in this example: In the persona of Mark, the AI coach explains the learning content of the previous lesson from the Masterplan course "Emotional Intelligence – Social Awareness" upon the learner's request. This way, employees can tackle tasks according to their individual skill levels and at their own pace.
