Learning based on life

The method that is revolutionising the world of work

Life Based Learning is the learning method devised by Lifeed that enables people to transfer the soft skills they learn in their daily lives to the workplace and vice versa, with benefits for their companies. The method is built on the solid foundations of science and research, through partnerships with prestigious international universities and the collaboration of a scientific committee.

The method has evolved over the years into a platform that enables continuous and adaptive learning through a self-coaching programme based on self-reflection.

The revolutionary method transforms experiences of change into opportunities for growth and acquisition of soft skills, lowering stress and increasing people’s well-being during critical phases, both personal and professional.

Successfully tested by more than 5,000 mothers in 2017-2018 under the name MAAM – Maternity as a Master, it has since been extended to all life transitions, involving 70,000 mothers, fathers, caregivers and people in work transition, through the innovative Lifeed digital self-coaching sessions, recognised worldwide for their innovation and effectiveness.

Lifeed works with over 100 companies in Italy and abroad and has partnered with prestigious universities to validate, measure and evolve its proprietary scientific method.

DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY AND EVERYDAY LIFE COME TOGETHER

The method takes the form of weekly micro-learning modules, lots of multimedia and interactive content for reflecting, questioning, narrating, exercising and experimenting with soft skills, one by one. And to exchange ideas, emotions, progress and successes, there is the community among colleagues, also from other companies, who are on the same training path.

Lifeed has given me a different perspective on life and work. The two dimensions are not separate. On the contrary, they include many common aspects that act in synergy with each other.

Life Based Learning is science

Life Based Learning starts with the results of scientific research and is continuously fed by the data emerging from our ever-increasing programmes adopted by companies.

Our research projects

Kellogg School of Management

Starting from January 2020 – Duration 2 years

The research links the Lifeed Multi-Me exercise to the Kellogg School of Management’s algorithm on self-overlap complexity, resulting in a number of indicators and a personalised infographic for each user.

University of Milano – Bicocca

Starting from Q1 2020

Application of natural language processing (NLP) and machine learning methods based on texts produced by participants in the masters courses. MIA represents the data emerging from the training course across various axes concerning the topics of well-being, cooperation and teamwork, leadership, effectiveness and productivity, and engagement.

Ca’ Foscari Competency Center (CFCC)
