Background and initial challenges

ENGIE BtoC France was facing several major challenges to reach its objective of becoming the No. 1 customer service on the market :

1. Creating truly effective courses

The main challenge was to develop training courses impacting with real retention among customer advisors, and especially the ability to apply what they have learned in the field in practice.

2. Generate engagement

It was necessary to avoid the “click on next” effect of traditional e-learning courses and create courses engaging and telling for learners, in whom they would really want to get involved.

3. Facilitate reporting for managers

Call center managers needed a clear and decentralized visibility on the follow-up of training courses and evaluations: who has taken what, who masters the expected skills, how to get back to the laggards.

4. Centralize tools

The company wanted avoid the multiplication of tools and be able to work directly in a single solution, while ensuring deployment via their SuccessFactors LMS.

To these challenges was added the context of transition from their previous Domoscio solution, to ensure tiling with Didask.

Why did you choose Didask?

The Didask solution was able to meet ENGIE's needs point by point with a unique approach based on cognitive sciences:

Improving the impact of training

Thanks to concrete situations and a pedagogy based on error resulting from research in cognitive sciences, Didask guarantees a real increase in skills and better memorization.

Boosting engagement with adaptive learning

The platform offers 3 levels of adaptive learning :

• Macro adaptive : orientation towards the right paths
• Meso Adaptive : positioning test to personalize the course
• Adaptive microphone : personalized feedback in each activity

These intrinsic motivational drivers create an experience of personalized coaching that goes beyond simple true/false.

Facilitate steering for managers

Of clear and granular dashboards allow decentralized monitoring by entity, activity, campaign and learner, with precise performance indicators (completion rate, skills control, time spent).

Seamless integration

Interconnection via SSO guarantees smooth navigation and real-time statistical monitoring, while allowing teams to create directly in Didask with total freedom in the layout and organization of content.

“The application is much more fun and intuitive. Employees have a visual that makes them want to follow the courses and have their knowledge validated. ” - Users at ENGIE

Deploying the solution

The deployment was gradual with personalized support from Didask:

Phase 1: Test and convince the teams

The training teams first tested the solution. The main user, initially concerned about the lack of creative freedom, was convinced when she discovered that she could integrate Genially and Articulate content while benefiting from the educational power of Didask.

Phase 2: Designer Training

5 designers were trained in the Didask tool and methodology from the start of deployment.

Phase 3: Intensive content creation

In only 6 months, the teams created 60 training projects, demonstrating the speed of use and the effectiveness of the authoring tool.

Phase 4: Phased deployment

The broadcast started with pilot phases before being deployed to all 2500+ advisors distributed in 20 centers, including external service providers.
