The Assembly

In this podcast, Adam talks to Michael Miller about setting up the first formal learning systems and processes at Sygnature Discovery.

In this fascinating discussion, Michael talks us through the process he followed in setting up the "Sygnature Academy". The first centralised, companywide learning initiative put together at Sygnature Discovery.

What started as an effort to streamline and focus local training activities ended up growing into a cohesive platform. Michael talks us through some easy-to-implement low/no tech solutions and their progress on driving engagement.
