The Learn N' Succeed method

The Application Loop: learn, apply, come back.

70% of a traditional training course is forgotten within 72 hours (Ebbinghaus; Murre & Dros, 2015). The loop exists for the opposite.

The loop

How does the Application Loop work?

Every step has a trigger inside the platform: a lesson, an Atlas session, an email from Atlas. Nothing rests on your motivation alone.

  1. D0You learnA short lesson, one concept, no filler.
  2. D1You applyAtlas takes your real case and makes you produce a deliverable.
  3. D3Atlas comes backA note from Atlas: is your plan still standing?
  4. D7You adjustOne week in, you fix what's not working.
  5. D30You measureOne month in, the review: what actually changed?

The three steps

Prepare, produce, return.

What you do, what Atlas does, and what you are left with at the end of each step.

01

Prepare

D-7 → D0

A short lesson, your goal written down, Atlas briefed on your context.

  • One open lesson from the OKRs for Impact course, no card required.
  • Your goal written in your account before the first session.
  • Atlas reads that goal and uses it in every session that follows.
02

Produce

D0 → D1

An Atlas session on your real case. You leave with a written deliverable, not notes.

  • The Atlas session opens next to the lesson video.
  • A few exchanges, then a written deliverable: objective, key results, action for the week.
  • The deliverable stays in your account, dated and readable after the course.
03

Return

D+3 → D+30

Atlas comes back by email on days 3, 7 and 30, right when memory drops.

  • On day 3, an email from Atlas revisits your deliverable: is it still standing?
  • On day 7, you fix what's not working, with Atlas on the same goal.
  • On day 30, the review: what changed, what is left to hold.

The difference

Classic training or the Application Loop: what's the difference?

Traditional training

  • Watch
  • Take notes
  • Move to the next module
  • Forget
  • End of training

Learn N' Succeed

  • Understand
  • Produce
  • Apply
  • Come back with Atlas
  • Day 30

Atlas comes back on days 3, 7 and 30: exactly when memory drops.

Measurement

How do you measure a training's results?

Four things actually instrumented in the platform. Nothing else is announced.

  • Lessons completed

    Who opened the lesson, who finished it, and when.

  • Atlas sessions completed

    A session counts when it ends on a written deliverable.

  • Follow-ups sent

    The day 3, 7 and 30 emails are tracked on send.

  • Cohort CSV export

    Participants, progress, OKR produced and day-7 follow-up: the cohort exports from the admin area.

No survey score, no aggregate number: your deliverables and your commitments are the proof.

The foundations

What the loop is calibrated on.

Three bodies of work, not an in-house recipe. Each one explains one step of the loop.

  • Stanislas Dehaene

    Four pillars of learning: attention, active engagement, error feedback and consolidation. The Atlas session is the active engagement step; the follow-ups are the consolidation one.

  • Ebbinghaus; Murre & Dros (2015)

    The forgetting curve, replicated in 2015: without a reminder, most of what was learned is gone within days.

  • Spaced reminders

    Atlas comes back on days 3, 7 and 30 — the spacing follows the forgetting curve, not a sales calendar.
