Training through the anchoring of behaviors

THEanchoring behaviors and knowledge is a very effective method for acquiring new skills. The platform Fifty helps company workers to progress in their careers thanks to this technique, which ensures a real increase in skills through targeted actions.

Anchoring: from conditioning to inspiration

Anchoring consists in combining a stimulus and a behavior. Basically, it's about triggering a reaction from a given situation. This reaction may or may not be conscious. Proust's Madeleine is an example of very strong anchoring, when the little cake associated with tea evokes an entire universe from the narrator's childhood.

In neurolinguistic programming (NLP) theanchoring behaviors Classic aims to introduce rituals. The example of the Pavlovian dog, learning to associate the sound of a bell with the arrival of food, represents the mechanism well. At first, the sound of the bell means nothing to the animal. Afterwards, the food is presented to him and at the same time the bell is rung. After several repetitions, the sound of the bell alone is enough to make the dog drool, as it is associated with the idea of food.

In daily life, there are several anchors that elicit automatic responses, such as stopping (behavior) at a red light (stimulus). In personal development, anchoring helps to develop more positive behavior, for example by using the anchor as an inner resource. Its evocation makes it possible to overcome certain stressful situations (e.g. speaking in public, completing an exceptionally difficult task).

So, theanchoring behaviors is not necessarily the result of packaging work. The subject can also do the work himself consciously in order to create positive associations that will serve to adopt a behavior that is better suited to the objectives set. In the field of training, anchors make it possible to retain knowledge sustainably and to assimilate the human skills necessary for better performance.

Fifty, an educational platform focused on behaviors

Fifty is an innovative system that offers on-the-job training for company employees. This digital platform is distinguished by the tools used: it combines the Nudge approach with artificial intelligence</p>.

Nudge, theorized by economist Richard Thaler, is a method that encourages action without resorting to coercion or sanctions. It has given convincing results for users of public services, making it possible to reduce numerous expenses by inspiring more responsible behavior.

With the platform Fifty, it is about establishing a anchoring behaviors sustainable for learners, through daily activities. These micro-actions are individualized using AI, in order to create personalized paths according to the profile of each employee. The method helps learners to effectively integrate new technical skills, and especially human know-how or “soft skills” that are important for developing their career.

Fifty is intended for workers, and ensures an observable increase in skills as part of the current skills development plan. The latter requires training that meets specific professional objectives, and that is carried out in a production state. Fifty meets these various conditions, with quantifiable results in real time.
