But upon closer inspection, you realize your entire staff has no idea how to use it.\n\nThe integrity of your data<\/a> is at stake. Employee productivity<\/a> is rapidly declining. The pace of everyday business is slowing down.\n\nThis is what happens when you go full steam ahead on software migration without a proper change management solution.\n\nWithout the right solution, businesses start to run into a problem where employees have tools at their fingertips, but they are unable to overcome the digital learning curve. Beating this problem can be one of the biggest barriers to successful software migration<\/a>. However, it\u2019s possible to overcome this obstacle with effective training practices<\/a> in place.\n

A new approach to digital learning<\/h2>\n\"effective\n\nRegardless of an employee\u2019s previous knowledge, experience, or proficiency in a system, one thing is certain: there will always be something new to learn.\n\nWith the proliferation of new technology expanding at an ever-increasing rate, training managers are faced with the difficult challenge of beating the digital learning curve among employees.\n

Ditch ineffective training \u2014\u00a0unleash employee productivity with a Digital Adoption Platform (DAP). Request a demo today.<\/a><\/h3>\nThe digital learning curve<\/a> often leads to two outcomes: 1) Workers fail to adopt new practices and revert to old or inefficient ways of working. 2) Employees become confused or remain unaware of the capabilities they have at their disposal.\n\nBoth of these outcomes lead to businesses failing to maximize ROI when migrating new software into their existing frameworks.\n\nTo conquer these challenges, training professionals need to rethink the way they manage change \u2014 and redefine effective training methods<\/a>. If your employees are not properly trained, you may be failing to reap the benefits of your business\u2019s software investment.\n

Give employees the tools they need where they need them<\/h2>\n\"effective\n\nEmployee training<\/a> often involves pulling employees from their work environment, placing them in classrooms, and having them run through exercises involving memorization techniques.\n

What’s next? Read to discover the hidden factor fueling employee burnout<\/a><\/h3>\nThis approach to skills development leads to poor knowledge retention. For learning to stick, and for employees to master new skill sets through effective training, it\u2019s important to take an approach that involves experiential learning.\n\nThink about it this way: when an employee is in a classroom, you can take them through the exercises and motions on how to run through specific tasks. However, when they go back to their desk and get in front of their computer, questions arise that you cannot account for in classroom training sessions.\n\nWhen it comes to beating the digital learning curve, software training<\/a> must involve contextual, step-by-step guidance that allows employees to learn on the job rather than working from memory.\n

A digital solution for digital learning<\/h2>\n\"effective\n\nDigital learning tools that enable contextual learning<\/a> give workers the ability to learn new software in the context of their positions. They provide employees with hands-on, experiential training that provides the opportunity to link knowledge and practice together to overcome barriers to skills development.\n\nPowered by artificial intelligence<\/a> and machine learning, contextual learning solutions have algorithms that analyze various context-sensitive factors to provide tailored support.\n\nThese powerful technologies work together to understand user behavior and create personalized guidance. They can also allow enterprises to gain insights into how employees are using these new platforms to pinpoint issues and better address shortfalls in learning outcomes.\n\nThis allows training managers to then build a more effective training strategy.\n\nThe learning curve doesn\u2019t need to slow down your change process. Enter into the new age of skills development and conquer the barriers to organization-wide software migration.\n\nFor a deeper look into how to achieve successful software migration,\u00a0download the\u00a0How to Make Your Next Software Migration a Phenomenal Success<\/em>\u00a0eBook today<\/a>.\n
