Robert Feeney joins hosts Lesley Perreault and Chris Waipa and shares how he co-created Ringorang -- which is a habit-formation technology. It's a SaaS solution that fills the gap where learning ends and performance is expected. Learning disappears rapidly right after a learning event. Applying that learning so it becomes a habit is done less than 20% of the time. So students don't move powerfully into careers, even after years of schooling. Employees don't follow compliances or shift behaviors. It's arguably the world's most expensive problem.
