🚨 👉 For content to be great, it must enable a learner to take action.

If the learner can’t take action, it will not help them to speed up the growth of their businesses.

If a learner doesn't take action, they haven't really learned anything. A teacher doesn't learn to teach by reading a book about it. You can't learn guitar by watching videos. Learners need to turn insight into action. Small actions from learning act as a catalyst in growth (think micro actions for macro impact).

As a guide, good content works with the “ACT” guidelines. An acronym for action.

• Actionable -

  • Specific tactics, tools and frameworks for executing on the topic at hand - a great way to usually convey this information is through an example of how you or a client have executed on this topic.

    • E.g. How to write a strategy update for board comms

      

  • Outcomes of content need to be clear and specific, not vague and generic (it shouldn’t be ”Google-able”).

  • Reflect on the unique experience and be explicit about the pains it addresses.

• Case Studies -
  • Lend on real experience to give examples of successful implementation, nothing too theoretical.
    • Theory and frameworks are very useful but please use examples to illustrate how the framework can be used
    • Ideally sharing a project or activity that you have done and seen success in. Something more relevant to SMEs rather than talking about large multinationals like ‘Nike’, ‘Disney’.
• Time considerate -
  • Stay punchy, don’t waffle. Simple sentences are perfect, bullet points work very well too. No chunky paragraphs or long rambles.
    • If it’s an event (time-bound), let’s get to the point.
    • People want to be able to act faster these days, help declutter their direction and help them make the world a better place faster.

Builds strategic thinking and helps people put things into practice - immediately

• Use video to communicate the lessons
  • 60-second snippets
  • 5 min takeaways
  • 30-60 min workshop recordings
• Through other channels such as on our social media and newsletters
