Innovation in learning services: new performance support development methodology shortlisted for industry award

Leicester, UKLearning NewsOntuitive

Ontuitive’s 2 clicks and 10 seconds performance support methodology has been shortlisted in the 2013 Learning and Performance Awards.

Ontuitive, a world leader in performance support, has been shortlisted for a Learning and Performance Award in innovation for its work in creating a performance support development methodology and integrated it into its performance support design authoring technology. The methodology, ' 2 clicks and 10 seconds', was born from the goal of people being able to access just the right amount of support to complete tasks within 2 clicks and 10 seconds, and with easy access to just the right amount of any further knowledge required.

"There are many problems with how learning is sustained to support workers. Often people are presented with too much information - more than is required to complete their task; or they find themselves searching through company and other resources - and getting over-faced with information. When new systems and other change programmes are introduced workers can easily get frustrated at being unable to get on with their jobs. Quality suffers, performance suffers and errors escalate," explained Ontuitive's Ali Parkinson.

"The innovation of the 2 clicks and 10 seconds methodology is in both solving these problems, by improving how workers are supported, and in its integration in Ontuitive's software, so that authors can build performance support systems that deliver just the right amount of support at the right moment in the workflow."

The Learning and Performance Awards is an annual programme, run by the Learning and Performance Institute, to recognise outstanding examples of high standards, best practice, innovation and excellence within the learning and development sector. The winners of the 2013 awards will be announced at the Institute's prestigious awards dinner on 7 February at The Dorchester, London.
