summary
Claims companies are bad at learning and that targeted learning is about 66% more cost effective than hiring; lists six failure modes — leave it to the individual, courses, relying on seniors, fire hose learning — and shows they produce no team impact. Recommends problem‑based, spaced, assessed, narrow‑scope work plus human interaction (SCALE: Solve, Continuous, Assess, Limit, Engage). Describes a built product called Skila live team coaching that applies those tools and reports measurable OKR and productivity improvements.
