Summary
Most training platforms were built backwards. They started with what was easy to measure, layered features on top, and ended up with something that looks like training technology but is not actually training intelligence. In this opening episode of the First Principles of Training Intelligence series, Jeff Booher joins Andrew and Carrie to make the architectural case for a different way of building training technology. He walks through the ten credentialed coaches thought experiment, the five categories of training platforms, and the warehouse-to-hospital argument for why training intelligence cannot be retrofitted. It is the episode every other episode in this series will build on. Full technical breakdown at FitLogic.tech.
