The 5 Moments of Need exist in every department of every enterprise and require a strong and efficient learning ecosystem. Both formal and informal learning solutions support each of the moments in different ways. When you need to learn NEW stuff or MORE stuff, those are the first two moments of need and probably the most obvious. But there is also APPLY, CHANGE, and SOLVE. These are moments that require learning solutions supported by solid design and development processes, and systems as well.
Bob Mosher is the founding member at 5 Moments of Need and joined us to share his experiences putting these philosophies into practice. We talked about the basics, but also jumped into why and how we need to adjust our practices. Bob shared a few case studies and stories about the important business impact applying the 5 Moments of Need can have. And you don't need to be an instructional designer to benefit from this conversation. Every business leader can improve their operations by knowing more about these 5 distinct moments where a learning intervention is required.
