Digital transformation is rapidly changing the business world, particularly in the energy sector. To remain successful in an increasingly technologized world, future skills such as creative thinking and technological competence are crucial. Companies are faced with the challenge of preparing their employees for these new requirements.

In this blog post, you'll learn how Badenova the innovative solution sparks used successfully as part of digital transformation.

The case at a glance: Microlearning as the key to digital transformation

The requirements for future skills include not only creative and analytical thinking but also technological competence. But how does a medium-sized company empower its employees in these areas? Energy supplier Badenova recognized that a one-time seminar was not enough to master the challenges of digital transformation. Employees need continuous training opportunities through microlearning to develop these future skills.

The solution: sparks — the tool for digital transformation

sparks, the innovative tool from Haufe Academy, offers exactly that: microlearning for digital transformation. With short, concise learning nuggets, employees receive impulses on important future skills such as innovative thinking, successful communication and the use of AI in everyday work. Personalized recommendations and interactive formats support individual learning.

The test phase with sparks

Badenova initially introduced sparks in a six-month pilot phase. The participants came from all departments and business units, including representatives from the works council. Each day, they had three microlearnings to choose from, which, thanks to their short duration, could be optimally integrated into everyday working life.

sparks works with a learning algorithm that suggests new, suitable content based on the completed units. The participants rated the microlearning units in terms of their benefits and provided feedback on formats and content. This feedback was continuously incorporated into improving microlearning content and made sparks an effective tool for digital transformation.
