The moment the rules matter
Staff passed the compliance quiz. Then a busy morning, and the moment the slides never showed them.
Learning and HR
Staff click Next until it says complete, and the job looks the same on Monday. A short story shows someone like them at the moment the rules matter, then it’s their turn. It drops into Rise 360, Storyline or your LMS.
For learning and HR teams
Most corporate e-learning tells, then tests: the steps, a quiz, 100%. Staff click Next until it says complete, and the job looks the same on Monday.
A story shows someone like them on a real day: the wrong way, then the right way. Then it’s their turn, in a situation they haven’t seen.
In film-style, the wrong way can be the moment you could never stage with real staff: the fire drill gone wrong, the wrong dose, the near miss.
Fits what you already use. Each story comes as a captioned video, ready to drop into an Articulate Rise 360 lesson, Storyline or your LMS.
One moment that matters, for one course.
The same characters through a whole course or induction.
While your designers rebuild a course library around story.
Across 37 studies, stories were understood and remembered better than explanations. Mar, Li, Nguyen & Ta, Psychonomic Bulletin & Review, 2021
Joan is slow to choose this morning, and you’re behind. What do you do?
A story, then their turn. Try it.

Staff passed the compliance quiz. Then a busy morning, and the moment the slides never showed them.
Everyone passed the privacy course, and a colleague’s pay details still went to the wrong Michael. Then the same Rise lesson, opened with his story.
A fraud hold declines a 72-year-old’s card at the checkout. The same procedure, with a different first sentence.
A forklift misses a picker by half a metre and nobody writes it down. Then the safety course opens on that moment, from her side.
A fake payroll email lands at 4.52 on a Friday, and he types his password. The cyber module, told from inside his inbox.
A new starter sat through a morning of induction slides. On his first Saturday, a mother asks if a loaf has nuts, and he guesses.
HR, IT and Facilities each did their part. On Monday, the new starter had no laptop and no pass.
A 100% pass rate, and on Monday Sam freezes on his first call. What a story-based course does instead, and the research behind it.
Corporate work
Tell me about the courses you’re working on, including your Rise 360 courses. I’ll come back with a fixed quote, so the price doesn’t move. One story for one course, or a series through a whole induction.
How a video gets made
Shown with a real one: SAP go-live Monday, made for programmes facing the 2027 deadline.
An hour on a call. I read your documents and website first, so we start on what matters.
The brief: thousands of people at a mine site move to new SAP screens on one Monday. Show them that Monday before it happens.
One person, one day, the old way and the new. You sign off the script.
Meet Sam. He plans maintenance at a mine site. Twelve years in the old screens. He can raise a work order with his eyes shut. On go-live Monday, he can’t find it. The crew is waiting.
Every scene as a still frame. You sign them off before anything is animated.



Scenes 3, 4 and 5, signed off as stills
Animation, a professional voice, music and captions. Versions for your website and LinkedIn.
Usually about three weeks from our first conversation.
Questions
Every corporate job is different, so I quote each one after a conversation. The quote is fixed, so the price doesn’t move.
Yes. Each story comes as a captioned video, ready for a Rise 360 lesson, Storyline or any LMS.
Yes. Tell me about the courses you’re working on, and I’ll quote for the stories they need. I’ve built e-learning since 2005, and I build in Articulate Rise 360.
Yes. That’s a story series: the same people through a course or an induction, planned together.
Yes, before we start. The story needs your situation, not your secrets, so you never have to send anything confidential.
About three weeks from our first conversation, depending on how quickly the script and the scenes are signed off.
Watch The moment the rules matter and judge for yourself. You see every scene as a still first, and anything that looks wrong is redrawn before it moves.
Your rounds of changes are for the script and the storyboard. Once you’ve signed those off, any scene that doesn’t look right is regenerated until you’re happy with it, at no extra cost, in cartoon or film-style.
You do. Use it on your website, LinkedIn, intranet, LMS and in presentations.
