Proven Results

An international oil company discovered that their software tool for geophysical analysis was not being used due to the staff's lack of competency with this product. Working with PLS, the company designed an experiment to validate that the PLSystem Adaptive Knowledge Retention System (AKR), would dramatically increase the staff's learning retention rate of the software tool.

As the result of pre-testing, PLS set up three groups based on the staff's knowledge of the tool:

Little to no knowledge (green)
A fair working knowledge (gold)
A good working knowledge (brown)

An assessment was conducted:

Before the training began
After the completion of the course with 30 days of review (graph showed a convergence of all groups to over 80% retention)
60 days out, the groups realized over 90% long term retention

One group did not continue with the review process (AKR) after the second assessment (30 days) resulting in a significant decline in retention in the 3rd assessment (60 days). This study demonstrates the power and the value of the PLSystem to create and sustain high levels of knowledge retention.

Feedback from study

"I would definitely say that the retention piece and the easy and convenient access made my course a success. I have no hesitation in recommending the PLSystem for course delivery and retention."
"Would recommend the use of the system ABSOLUTELY!"
"Liked the pedagogy (took a general degree in Culture and Communications)"
"Have had training in 5 courses - the PLSystem was the best!"
