What does it take to transform knowledge into actionable behavior change and how is technology changing that?
This week I dug into this with Chris Taylor, Founder & CEO of Actionable.co. Our conversation explores the intersection of technology, behavior, and learning, unraveling the intricacies of how behavioral analytics can not only measure but significantly enhance the transfer from knowledge to skill.
We deep dive into the critical difference between enjoyable experiences and those that fundamentally change behaviors. It also highlights the pivotal role of AI in analytics, which emerges as a beacon of hope, offering insights into individual and collective learning patterns and driving the evolution of sound practices.
But it's not just about technology. We also touch on the human elements - the challenges inherent in altering behaviors, the importance of setting clear, achievable objectives, and the need for a consultative approach that values incremental progress and empowers employees.
This episode is crucial listening for anyone invested in harnessing the power of knowledge to create real, measurable change in both personal and professional landscapes.
