The Breakaway Method™
Four Drivers of Successful Adoption
Organizational Change Management
By implementing a comprehensive adoption plan, we prioritize leadership's involvement and equip your organization with the necessary resources to overcome obstacles, support your teams, and seamlessly introduce innovative technology or business practices.
Effective Training
A completely personalized educational approach that includes interactive online simulators, immersive learning, virtual reality, micro-videos, instructor-led training, we ensure users can demonstrate proficiency and confidence in their roles.
Performance Metrics
We provide leadership with an all-access dashboard that allows them to monitor progress, measure proficiency, and pinpoint adoption gaps by location, department, role, and even individual user.
Sustained Support
Our robust maintenance program updates all education and materials in real-time, even with application upgrades or process changes, driving real results and increasing long-term adoption.
Using these four interrelated components for success, Breakaway completely tailors education and deliverables to each organization’s unique challenges and needs.
Beyond Training
Many organizations rely on outdated and ineffective training approaches when introducing a new application or business change and often supplement training with traditional classroom instruction or off-the-shelf learning. Breakaway’s research has proven through hundreds of implementations that the key to impactful and lasting adoption is a personalized solution that not only guarantees user adoption but also provides maintenance and support during the transformation and well beyond. The Breakaway Method™ incorporates training modalities unique to each organization and its needs, like micro-videos, interactive simulators, immersive learning, conceptual courseware, game-based learning, virtual reality, and more. Breakaway’s unique approach to education allows for better analyses of proficiency metrics, less variation in end user knowledge and confidence, and most importantly, improved job performance and satisfaction.
Think Long Term
Upon building a strong educational foundation through organizational change management and effective training, it’s critical to analyze performance metrics and sustain the adoption outcomes for long-term success.
Achieving a successful adoption means:
- designing the best workflows and learning formats
- assessing quality and functionality during each step of development
- giving leaders effective tools to support their staff through monumental changes
identifying adoption gaps and areas for improvement - communicating effectively throughout the entire initiative to create a seamless and successful adoption
