Deep dives
Innovative Learning Solutions in Challenging Environments
Arist began as a solution for delivering education in war zones, focusing on making learning accessible through text messaging. This approach was particularly effective as it responded to the challenges learners face in finding relevant content, which often requires numerous clicks across multiple platforms. By meeting learners in their everyday environments and delivering content in bite-sized formats, Arist has improved learning outcomes significantly, echoing successful techniques used by tools like Duolingo. This method emphasizes the need for accessible learning that addresses knowledge gaps, especially during critical moments when employees need information the most.
Transforming Learning Through Personalization and Speed
Arist leverages data from various internal systems to deliver personalized learning content to employees exactly when they need it. Organizations can utilize their existing data to push relevant updates on skills and knowledge—eliminating the need for employees to search for answers. The automated creation of courses using AI allows for rapid updates, as one client demonstrated by transforming 600 pages of documentation into a course in under 30 minutes. This efficiency not only enhances engagement but also shows that the learning experience aligns directly with business needs.
Integrating AI for Effective Needs Analysis and Learning Delivery
Arist is at the forefront of using AI tools to automate not only content delivery but also the needs analysis process for learning and development teams. The development of a tool named Teammate allows companies to conduct stakeholder interviews automatically, simplifying the assessment of training requirements. This innovation helps bridge the gap between identifying needs and delivering effective training solutions, transforming how companies approach employee learning. By utilizing AI to identify training requirements and automate course creation, organizations can focus on enhancing employee performance rather than being bogged down by traditional development processes.
This week I interview CEO of Arist Michael Ioffe, one of the most innovative entrepreneurs I’ve met. Michael and his team have built an astounding message-based learning platform that uses AI to build content, distribute content, and even do needs analysis.
For those of you who are L&D or learning geeks, you really need to listen to this podcast. Arist was developed for “learning in the war zone,” and that’s pretty much what business is like.
