Cassava is the innovative solution for crafting and distributing modern workplace training programs, emphasizing delightful employee engagement. Cassava is a perfect candidate for learning and development (L&D) specialists, instructional designers, business coaches, and others tasked with authoring, distributing, and managing workplace training programs in a modern yet SCORM-conformant platform.

Today's flexible workforce demands that you reach employees in the channels where you THEY are most at home and productive to maximize the three successful performance indicators of engagement, adoption, and retention. The popularity of hybrid and fully remote organizations and diverse tooling continues to be a driving force in helping employees succeed on their terms.

At Cassava, we embrace this outreach philosophy by enabling the creation of training programs optimized for delivery across the same asynchronous channels employees use for daily collaboration and task management. Slack and Microsoft Teams are two of the many channels through which we offer fantastic distribution. As you will learn later, our forward compatibility promise means that any training program you design today will support newer channels as they come online with little to no changes on your part.

Training programs in Cassava are delivered seamlessly in line with the conversations of the day, unlike the traditional LMS approach, which demands employees interrupt their productivity rhythms to visit an often isolated and foreign wall garden of training. Given the stark contrast between these two approaches, it should be no surprise why LMS continues to face an uphill battle with poor engagement and overall displeasure.

We refer to these audience-empowered and compelling training programs as Experiences characterized by chunking, repetition, and pattern recognition. You will learn more about these fundamentals later, but suffice to say that they are the bedrock of what drives Cassava's engagement, adoption, and retention.

Along the way, we will introduce the six (6) fundamental building blocks of an Experience. Cassava primarily organizes content around Disciplines and Principles. Conceptually, these two components map to modules and lessons, respectively. Distribution Profiles and Rounds are synonymous with audience composition and sequencing. All of these building blocks are available in Cassava's authoring environment.

Publishing an experience in Cassava unlocks a world of actionable insights focused on the Round Adherence for each cohort of a Distribution Profile. This key metric informs us of the engagement levels and their timeliness. Our live playgrounds allow you to explore the entire spectrum of an Experience in Cassava before you embark on a journey with us.
