What the film says
Monday, nine o'clock. Priya starts her new job today. HR sent her contract three weeks ago.
IT built her laptop. Facilities booked her desk. Every team did its part.
So why is she sitting at an empty desk? Her laptop is still in IT, waiting for her manager to approve it. Nobody told Sam.
Her login works, but her building pass doesn't. Sam spends the morning on the phone. Every one of those teams had done its training.
Three courses. Three sets of slides. Each one showed its own steps.
None of them showed what happens on the next desk. Now picture the same Monday as a story all three teams watch together. HR sees the moment IT needs that approval.
IT sees why the pass matters. Facilities sees Priya waiting at reception. Then each team has a go at its own part, with the whole picture in front of them.
Next time, the new starter walks in, and everything is ready. That's story-based training. Someone like your staff, a real problem, the wrong way, the right way, then their turn.
I've made hours of animated training like this, including whole Confluence courses, where characters walk on screen and show teams working together. If work feels disconnected between your teams, I'm happy to talk. Message me on LinkedIn.
Want one like this for your training? I quote each job, and the film drops into Rise 360 or your LMS.
