2. Make it visual:  The human brain can process visuals 60,000 times faster than text.

3. Make it entertaining across multiple channels: Video watching accounts for 74% of all online traffic.  Infographics are liked and shared on social media 3 times more often than any other kind of content.  And over HALF of all web pages are served to mobile devices.

4. Make it interactive, using new technologies: Up to 70% of passively consumed training content is forgotten within 24 hours.  But, adaptive learning systems, like virtual reality, can improve retention and cut training time by up to 50%.   

5. Make your team members into thought leaders via social media: 65% of customers will trust the personal recommendations of another human being more than a branded message.  Yet 60% of Fortune CEOs don’t even have a social media presence.
