Compliance Training Game: Turn rules into quests and learners into heroes It foresees a game that reduces stress at work and dramatically increases career satisfaction. – Jane McGonigal, reality is broken: Why the game makes us better and how they change the world According to Gallup data, only 23% of employees rated compliance training as “good.” Often, it is considered a form that needs to be done, not an interest or guaranteed learning retention. There may be many factors that lead to this perception. For example, irrelevant, lack of practical applications, boredom, lack of context, inadequate feedback. One common strategy…

Digital transformation in corporate learning In an age of accelerated disruptions, where industries are being redefine by AI, automation and the dynamics of the evolving workforce, the way organizations approach learning is experiencing earthquake changes. Once restricted to static training manuals, classroom workshops and annual compliance checklists, corporate learning is being reconstructed through digital transformation. Rather than simply “realize training,” corporate learning has evolved into a dynamic, technology-enabled system designed to promote continuous development, adapt to business changes, and empower employees at all levels. In short, the learning model itself has been transformed and reflects the pace and complexity of…

I must confess to be wanting in imagination. Widespread adoption of smartphones has led to a fall in social skills. Examples are pervasive, such a family members fooling with their devices rather than talking to each other at meals and our recent discussions of dysfunctional dating behaviors, such as the collapse in the ability to flirt, it had not occurred to me that these changes in habits were so extensive as to generate changes in personality, or if one prefers, temperament. But a new Financial Times account makes just this case, focusing on the most marked character change, that of…

Why Do Google AI Overviews Matter For Brand Visibility? Statistics show that AIOs appear for almost 55% of all Google searches, a number that shows the necessity of ranking there. A Google AI Overview is important for marketers to increase brand visibility, boost click-through rates, and generate extra traffic. AI search optimization has completely changed what we knew so far about SEO. In fact, many businesses see their website traffic sinking due to the rise of AIOs and AI search engines. However, this is not the time to throw in the towel, but the time to re-strategize and learn how…

The US has successfully weaseled its way into the South Caucasus with the Trump Route for International Peace and Prosperity (TRIPP), a catchy Nobel-begging rename of the Zangezur Corridor. We’ve been on this slow-motion train crash for the past few years and you can read here, here, and here for more background and details on this years-long effort. For this piece let’s look at what it is, what it isn’t, what it means for the region and major outside players, and perhaps most importantly, what comes next? Details of the Deal  Here is the full text of the US-brokered Armenia-Azerbaijan…

Yves here. We’ve pointed out that poor people often suffer health care costs by virtue of where they live. Rich people do not reside hard by chemical plants or sewage fields. Housing by large thoroughfares is also typically cheaper than similar dwellings further away, and for good reason. It’s not just the din. It’s also the fumes. I suspect most readers, in comparatively well-off countries and neighborhoods, take not-too-dirty air for granted. In most of Asia, particularly the big cities, that is not at all the case. One of the reasons mask-wearing is normal here is that they are often…

What is an AI Prompt Engineer? If you’ve ever typed your questions into AI tools like ChatGpt or Gemini, you’re used to fast engineering without knowing it. AI prompt engineering is the creation of input, or “prompts,” known as “prompts,” when you get the best possible results from an AI model. It sounds simple, but as generative AI becomes smarter and more popular, the skill of knowing how to talk to these systems is extremely useful. Companies across the industry are hiring fast engineers to fine-tune how AI tools work in day-to-day tasks, from generating product descriptions to designing coding…

Comprehensive onboarding for ESL employees: Start with language awareness Imagine starting a new role with one clarity every day to reduce ramp-up time in half. Most corporate onboarding programs are not designed with English in mind as a second language (ESL) learner. However, accessible and culturally aware onboarding can support inclusion, improve employee retention, increase productivity and help build stronger global teams. Missed opportunities for multilingual onboarding I have spent years teaching English to adults, including IT professionals, engineers, project managers, and medical professionals. Many of them started new jobs in unfamiliar environments where expectations were not only implicit but…
