Empowered Achiever: an app that measures whether training changes behaviour

ScalaCode built Empowered Achiever, an iOS and Android app that measures whether training changes how people behave afterwards. People work through questionnaires and diagnostics, set actions, record reflections and download a report, whether the learning happens at work, in education or in their personal lives.

Empowered Achiever

Empowered Achiever helps organisations find out whether their training is paying off. It wanted to measure the impact and value of learning interventions, see how much of the learning carries over into everyday work, and spot what helps or blocks a change in behaviour.

The challenge

Why the impact of training was hard to measure

1

No validated platform

There was no validated platform for checking how well a learning initiative was working.

2

No way to track behaviour

Nothing measured whether people kept up a new behaviour or stuck to a procedure over time.

The solution

A diagnostic and reflection app for iOS and Android

We built native apps in Swift and Kotlin, with a Python backend and storage on AWS and Amazon S3.

    Diagnostic tools

    Personal assessments show where each person stands, so the learning approach can be adjusted to suit them.

  2. 02

    Questionnaires and reports

    Built-in questionnaires produce an analytical report that a person can download or have sent to their email.

  3. 03

    Action lists and reflections

    People plan actions, attach photos and write down reflections as ideas come to them.

  4. 04

    Ongoing feedback

    The app collects feedback as people go, so the programme can be improved while it runs.

  5. 05

    Offline and online

    The app works with or without an internet connection.

The results

Training impact that people can track from their phone

Learners use the app to assess themselves, plan what they'll do next and reflect on what changed, online or offline. Each completed questionnaire ends in a report they can keep.
