The Your ID Advantage
Experts in Social Learning
We practice, research, and study social learning. Unlike our eLearning development friends, it's not just something we dabble in. It is what we do-- all we do. Every team member, from intern to PhD-level strategist, participates in constant feedback sessions and professional development to be at the top of our game in social learning design and strategy.
We believe that when people connect with other people and feel truly like they belong, they are more likely to be kind (the research supports it) and thus make the world a better place. Focusing on people and giving those people the best possible experience is our way of doing that. That's why we always aim to provide exceptional service.
Proven Frameworks
Working with over 100 organizations over the past 8 years in industries ranging from Aviation to Fashion to Health Tech and a whole lot in between , we've learned what works and what doesn't. We've used those experiences to define a set of frameworks that power impactful learning--- the kind that leads to higher performing teams, reduced incidents on the job, and improved employee experience.
Our Learning Philosophy
We have 8 essential beliefs that guide how we design for and advise our clients.
Action
The end goal of learning is not knowledge but action.
​
Small Wins
Small wins can create big change.
​
Ecosystems
Learning happens in an ecosystem.
​
Practice
One-time learning isn't enough. Spaced repetition & mixed practice create deep learning.
Progress
Progress is not linear.
​
​
Emotion
Emotions impact learning. Design for experience.
​
Feedback
Timely feedback is essential to learning. We do not learn in a vacuum.
Performance
Opt to support performance in real-time whenever possible rather than train for recall.
