Episode description

We’ve discussed the principles of Digital Marketing and its application to L&D in previous podcasts but this one is slightly different. Satoshi and the team at SwissRe have up-skilled themselves and experimented with both the approaches and tools of Digital Marketing to get closer to employees and create a compelling Digital Learning offering.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Too few L&D professionals see the overlap between L&D and digital marketing when it comes to efficiently influencing behaviour.
• The main challenge for democratised learning is how people can find the most relevant content in the moment of need.
• We recognise things as learning needs based on minimal observation, or even because of our preference, but these things are not real needs. They are assumptions.
• The principles of marketing can be used to enhance the learning experience. Effective marketing is used to nudge a user along a funnel and towards a proposed end goal. It's the same with learning.

BEST MOMENTS

'We put a lot of emphasis on the learning experience. We wanted to be more digital and personalised'

'We have to find ways to promote the right content through digital channels'

'It's so much about education, but it has to start with them'

'We don't have a crystal ball to predict the skills of the future'
