CASE STUDY 

Our client’s environmental scientists gave lectures filled with numbers and legal standards that operators found difficult to remember. We suggested that Environment work with Operations to develop a job aid. We then built games and case studies based on incident reports that learners answered in class using the job aid. Result: fun classes, improved retention, increased compliance. Side effect: As a result of operators and scientists creating the job aid together, they developed a more collaborative relationship which improved response times and report quality.
