Make learning relevant
With an infinite choice of topics, employees focus on learning what is relevant to their current challenges.
Boost motivation
By learning in social groups, employees are more motivated and actually enjoy continuously learning.
Create expertise
Through discussion and debate, employees get a deeper understanding of each topic and build real expertise.
Reduce knowledge fade
With engaging activities and timed review periods, employees keep their new knowledge for the long term.
Introducing the Curio Cycle. A perfect combination of practical learning research and agile principles.
The Curio Cycle combines the best research we have on how our brains consume, store, and use knowledge and skills, with agile feedback loops, to give your teams the freedom to focus their learning on what is relevant to the current challenges they face.
See how it works
Review and refine
At the end of each Curio Cycle the cohort will complete the review activities and make changes for the next Curio Cycle.
Form cohorts
Your employees are grouped into cohorts of eight or fewer with similar learning goals. The Curio Cycle set-up activities get them ready to start learning as one team.
Choose what to learn
The cohorts decide what they want to learn each Curio Cycle and work together to complete the planning activities. With unlimited choice, they can learn the right topic at the moment they need it most.
Conduct research
Each member of the cohort follows the Curio Cycle guidance to find relevant and reliable sources of information on their chosen topic. This will be a combination of text, video, audio, courses, or even a chat with an expert.
Develop a deep understanding
The cohort uses Curio Cycle analysis activities to discuss, debate, pull apart and recombine the information they found. They develop real expertise in the topic and don't just memorise facts.
Practice
All cohort members use the Curio Cycle strengthening activities to practice using their new knowledge both within the cohort and in their real work.
