Just in Time & Just Enough Learning

Reinforcement learning, micro-learning, comic strips, storytelling, coaching and social learning. Ever heard of all these concepts mentioned together?

You will now, as you listen in on this fun conversation with Chitra Gurjar, Linda Jacob, Jyothi Sridhar and Madhavi Nadig about how they created a product and program called SmartStart.

Listen in and learn how the team weaved soft skills coaching into stories revolving around the lives of Meera and Jasmin, two fun characters whom they conjured up. Yes, their names are a nod to actress Meera Jasmine! Also hear the perspective of a learner who first went on a learning journey along with Meera and Jasmin, and then met their creators at the end of it.
