You miss one hundred per cent of the shots you don’t take
How continuous learning can work in companies
Reading time: approx. 1′ 38″

Design of Human-Machine Interfaces (HMI) in industrial automation. It is for engineers and designers and aims to optimise the interaction between man and machine in order to increase the efficiency and user-friendliness of machines.
Further training strategies
Why does good old ‘training and development’ fail so often? Companies offer their employees full-day or multi-day workshops and intensive training courses. Back in everyday operations, the half-life becomes visible: You miss one hundred per cent of the shots you don’t take. Compact learning usually passes as quickly as it came. The effect of small steps over longer periods of time, i.e. following a guided learning path, creates sustainable skill and know-how development.
Micro-learning
Stimulating new learning formats that can be optimally integrated into our day-to-day operations are becoming established under the heading of micro-learning. Here, inquisitive minds learn continuously and close to practice in short sequences – at their own pace.
Engineers interested in HMI design still find it difficult to find attractive content and practical learning formats. Our workbook on HMI design, especially for engineers, aims to change this.
Does this book contain everything there is to know about HMI design? Of course not. But it makes it easier to get started and conveys the most important design basics that can be used to achieve initial noticeable success – compactly presented and summarised to deepen the HMI Design Masterclass.
Workbook in
everyday life
Study your workbook tip by tip, bite by bite. All you need is 10 minutes a day – whether on your journey or at lunch. Write in it, sketch and use the numerous practical exercises and templates – but above all: integrate your findings and what you have learnt into your everyday project work – since the user at the machine will thank you for it.

»Learning is not a destination but a journey, shaped by every small step we take along the way.«
