Case Study: BD improves learning transfer and retention with 7taps Microlearning

BD boosts learning transfer for 70,000 employees with 7taps Microlearning

BD, a global medical technology company, faced the challenge of ensuring that knowledge gained at industry conferences and training events was effectively retained and applied on the job. To maximize learning transfer, Liz Herrick, a Principal Learning & Performance Consultant at BD, turned to microlearning strategies facilitated by the vendor 7taps.

The solution implemented using 7taps involved a seven-step microlearning strategy to build anticipation before events, engage managers, provide structured scaffolding, leverage active recall, foster collaboration, ensure ongoing use, and end with action-oriented messages. This approach led to positive feedback from associates, who reported better retention and a deeper understanding of the material. The 7taps solution successfully enhanced learning transfer and created a more comprehensive and collaborative learning experience.
