The Breakaway Method™
Four Drivers of Successful Adoption
Organizational Change Management
A detailed adoption plan with customized deliverables increases leadership engagement and gives organizational leaders the tools to provide support, navigate challenges, and successfully deploy new technology or business processes
Effective Training
A completely personalized educational approach that often incorporates interactive online simulators with immersive learning, game-based learning, virtual reality, micro-videos, instructor-led training, and more, enabling users to demonstrate proficiency and confidence in their roles before going live
Performance Metrics
An all-access dashboard for organizational leadership, allowing them to monitor end users’ progress, measure proficiency, and pinpoint adoption gaps by location, department, role, and even individual user
Sustained Support
A robust maintenance program to update the education and materials in real time, even with application upgrades or process changes, driving real results and increasing long-term adoption
Strategy & Deliverables
Using these four interrelated components for success, Breakaway completely tailors education and deliverables to each organization’s unique challenges and needs. Every solution is bespoke, and no initiative is too large or small for Breakaway.
Story map
A visual representation that communicates the transformation, initiative, or education solution to learners and gives them a holistic understanding of the overall change as a story.
Infographic
A visual tool used to communicate elements of a change initiative or implementation to employees in an engaging, effective way.
OCM Deliverable
Similar to infographics, these communication deliverables aid leadership in sharing information with their team about the organizational change or transformation.
Online Simulator
Customized, role- and task-based lessons that use short (5-7 minute) interactive simulations to teach best practices and then test learners on their ability to complete the workflows with minimal instruction.
Quick Reference Guide
Convenient documents that provide at-a-glance support for users who need a quick refresher of click-by-click instructions for performing tasks covered in their simulator lessons.
Micro-video
Short videos that use storytelling to quickly guide learners through a task or make them aware of an important new change, often using characters and animations to engage viewers and promote retention.
Immersive Learning
A type of education that allows users to interact with three-dimensional animated characters as they practice a task, move objects within a room, or maneuver through an environment.
Each decision they make impacts the scenario outcome as it would in a real work environment, allowing learners to understand the importance of their workflow in a controlled environment.
Conceptual Learning
To teach soft skills, best practices, and other topics that are conceptual in nature, Breakaway employs a richly interactive storytelling approach that’s brought to life with characters, animations, and innovative interactions. Users study situations, evaluate options, and make decisions so they can learn how to apply high-level concepts in scenarios that match their work environment.
Game-based Learning
Sometimes an extra level of gamification is exactly what is needed to draw users in and keep them engaged. Breakaway designers and developers can add gaming elements such as scoreboards, progress meters, relevant sports metaphors, and more to improve learning journeys.
PromisePoint® Community
Clients receive access to Breakaway’s personalized, state-of-the-art learning management system called PromisePoint® Community. With familiar branding and navigation for users, the community serves as a central hub for the entire adoption journey, housing all educational materials, classroom scheduling, attendance reports, exam scoring, and a wide variety of task tracking and reporting capabilities to keep learners and leadership on track to a successful adoption.
Client Metrics
Breakaway’s learning management system offers comprehensive, real-time performance metrics for leadership to analyze proficiency and identify any adoption gaps by location, department, role, or user. Additionally, course surveys collect responses directly from users to gauge attributes like knowledge and confidence in the education, further measuring the success of the adoption.
Beyond Training
Many organizations rely on outdated and ineffective training approaches when introducing a new application or business change and often supplement training with traditional classroom instruction or off-the-shelf learning. Breakaway’s research has proven through hundreds of implementations that the key to impactful and lasting adoption is a personalized solution that not only guarantees user adoption but also provides maintenance and support during the transformation and well beyond. The Breakaway Method™ incorporates training modalities unique to each organization and its needs, like micro-videos, interactive simulators, immersive learning, conceptual courseware, game-based learning, virtual reality, and more. Breakaway’s unique approach to education allows for better analyses of proficiency metrics, less variation in end user knowledge and confidence, and most importantly, improved job performance and satisfaction.
