Reduce Wasted Learning Motion 5 Minutes a Day

Kudos to Jenny Hon at General Mills for displaying outstanding 'Lean Learning' thinking in this Sharepoint promo. Two minutes in she talks about how saving company employees 5 minutes a day searching for information really adds up. This is a great example of reducing wasted 'motion' in learning. By my calculations, with almost 30,000 employees worldwide, this saves General Mills 2,500 hours A DAY!

And, even more important than the wasted time, when people become frustrated searching and searching and searching for information, they sometimes just give up and guess; resulting in costly mistakes and rework.

In our increasingly digital world, reducing extra steps and motion when searching for information has big benefits. Start thinking like Jenny. Design learning systems that save your employees just 5 minutes a day.
