Learning at Work Is Broken
In the last 30 years, software has evolved from solving math problems to writing novels. Yet corporate learning is still stuck in the past, with:
Companies spend billions replicating classrooms online but rarely measure if anyone is actually learning.
The result?
Training that checks boxes, not drives growth.
Why Most Learning Doesn’t Stick
Studies show that people forget up to 75% of what they learn within six days if they don’t apply it, a phenomenon known as The Forgetting Curve. Traditional learning ignores this. It focuses on information, not application.
That’s why most workplace learning fades before it ever makes an impact.
It’s not you.
It’s how we’re wired.
Learning Should Fit How We Work Today
Modern professionals learn best when it’s woven into their work - short, actionable, and continuous.
Learning should feel natural, personalized, and even fun. It should not be another “training module” on the to-do list.
People don’t need more content, they need context.
That’s where Linear comes in.
