Design
Turn-on sauce
Turn-on sauce is Torque's name for the design choices that make learning delicious, digestible and developmental — rather than merely delivered.
Delicious: people want to be there. Digestible: it arrives in pieces a working adult can actually absorb. Developmental: something is different on Monday.
It is not entertainment. A room that enjoyed itself and changed nothing has failed. The sauce is what carries the substance in.
The Rest of the Method
Diagnosis
Turn-offs first
Most learning needs analyses ask people what training they want. That produces a catalogue, not a change. Torque starts at the other end: what is currently turning this group off?
Delivery
Experiential
Some things cannot be read. They have to be felt.
Delivery
Digital
Some things do not need a room. They need repeating.
Transfer
Reinforcements and follow-thrus
The room ends on Friday. The habit was supposed to start on Monday.
