Project Overview
In the competitive retail landscape, a leading global retailer identified the critical need to enhance its workforce’s negotiation capabilities. The objective was to design an engaging, 8-hour Level 3 eLearning course that used human character videos and custom hand-drawn chalk animations to illustrate the nuances of retail negotiations.
The course was built to be highly immersive, combining interactive learning methods with real-world scenarios to maximize retention. With a tight 3-month timeline, the challenge was to deliver a dynamic, high-quality training experience that reflected the organization’s commitment to innovation and excellence in employee development.
The training also had to be inclusive—addressing the needs of a diverse, global workforce by ensuring accessibility and engagement across multiple learning styles. By applying cutting-edge instructional design strategies, Qquench Media reimagined negotiation training as a powerful, interactive, and results-driven learning solution.
