Paving the Path to Product Insights Success: The Not-so-Secret Sauce

Sometimes, even the spiciest sauce can’t make a bland meal flavorful. Quite a foolish idea, right? But I’m speaking metaphorically here and in this scenario, your business is the meal and developing rich product insights through engaging employee training is the secret sauce. Not wrapping your head around this idea? Keep reading and I promise you’ll get it.

Pulling Back the Curtain on Engaging Employee Training

Now, here’s a story of my dear friend Bob. You might not know Bob personally but he’s your regular Clark Kent. Okay, maybe without the Superman part (or not, employee training still hasn’t figured out that yet!). Honest, hard-working and slightly more enticed by the idea of a tuna sandwich than a PowerPoint presentation.

Bob works at a small tech startup. The kind where casual Fridays are every day and ping-pong tables replace traditional desks. Sounds amazing, right?

Until, one day, they felt the need for a training signal in the air (I told you Superman was mixed in here somewhere). They decided to boost employees productivity with a solution – marathon PowerPoint sessions. Yes, you heard that right; brains fried with hours-long sessions. The result? Bob and his colleagues got everything – confusion, drowsiness, an extreme resentment for pie charts… everything but product insights.

Understanding where Bob went wrong

To get it straight, the tragedy here was not the presence of PowerPoint but the absence of true engagement. And you see, Bob’s situation isn’t an isolated case. Many organizations still believe in ‘the more, the merrier’ when dealing with employee training. Unfortunately, they’re confusing ‘more information’ with ‘more insights’. And they’re definitely not the same thing.

The Spice of Playful Learning in Product Insights

So, what would have made the training more effective for Bob? The answer lies in great product insights, complemented with playful and engaging employee training. After all, all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy, right?

Are you spicy enough?

Do you have the right ingredients in your ‘training sauce’? Are you ditching the all-nighter PowerPoint strategy for active, playful learning? Or are you treating your employees to a ‘Bob Special’ and leaving them yearning for a tuna sandwich over your training sessions?
