Make Information Overload a Thing of the Past with Learning Paths

The pace of change in modern organizations demands that learning keep up—whether you're onboarding new employees, launching tools like Salesforce or SAP SuccessFactors, or refining internal processes.  

But here’s the problem: while technology has evolved, traditional training hasn’t evolved.

We still see bloated onboarding decks, week-long bootcamps, and endless documentation being thrown at employees on day one. This outdated model assumes that more information, delivered earlier, equals better outcomes.

It doesn’t.

The Cost of Front-Loading

Front-loading training—cramming everything into the beginning of an employee’s journey—feels like progress, but often creates confusion. New hires and even seasoned employees facing process updates struggle to retain massive amounts of information without context or application.

By the time they return to the tool days or weeks later, most of what they learned is forgotten. Support teams feel the strain. Adoption suffers. And that new feature or process never gets the traction it deserves.

In the worst cases, this results in disengagement, poor user experience, and a lack of measurable return on investment.

The Shift to Microlearning

What today’s workforce needs is learning that adapts to their pace, their tasks, and their environment. Microlearning does exactly that. It replaces the "one and done" approach with a continuous, in-context experience that delivers information in small, digestible moments—exactly when and where it's needed.

This is especially powerful during onboarding or change management initiatives. Instead of a single intensive session, employees are guided through real tasks with smart tips, interactive walkthroughs, and contextual support embedded right into their tools.

This isn’t just more efficient—it’s more human. It respects people’s time, reduces stress, and aligns learning with how people actually absorb and apply information.

GRAVITY Goals: Your Microlearning Engine

At the heart of this transformation are GRAVITY Goals, part of our digital adoption platform (DAP). Goals let Learning Managers design and deliver structured, sequenced learning experiences inside the application itself—no separate portals, no PDFs, no guesswork.

Instead of overwhelming employees with everything at once, you can lead them through a curated path of interactive Callouts that appear one by one, in the right order, at the right time. This makes it easy to onboard new hires, train teams on complex workflows, or introduce multi-phase initiatives—all without disrupting the flow of work.

Imagine a newly hired account manager opening Salesforce. Rather than being handed a 40-slide onboarding deck, they're walked through a focused path: creating a lead, qualifying an opportunity, updating the pipeline—each step supported with clear, actionable guidance, exactly when needed.

Why It Works

Sequenced learning through GRAVITY Goals is more than just good UX—it’s a strategic advantage. Employees become confident faster. New tools and processes gain traction. Change becomes easier to manage.

And because all of this happens in-app, the learning experience is tightly connected to the task at hand. There's no need to switch tools, search for answers, or wait for help. With GRAVITY, every moment becomes an opportunity to learn and succeed.

Rethinking Training for a Digital World

The way we work has changed. The way we learn must change with it. GRAVITY empowers Learning Managers to move beyond outdated training methods and embrace a smarter, more adaptive approach.

By breaking learning into smaller parts, embedding it directly into the employee experience, and delivering it through structured learning paths, you don’t just teach—you enable. You don’t just roll out change—you help people adopt it.

So let’s make information overload a thing of the past. Let’s replace it with clarity, confidence, and momentum—one step at a time.
