As Short as Possible, But No Shorter Right Sizing Learning in AEC Firms
Kristina Williams, Director of Design Technology at Lionakis, explains how designing learning for future retrieval — not just the live session — has fundamentally changed how she breaks up lessons. When someone in the flow of work needs just one specific setting in Revit, they shouldn't have to sit through eight minutes to find it. Christopher Parsons, Laura Knauss, President and Chief Practice Officer at Lionakis, and Kristina work through the balance between brevity and completeness — landing on a principle borrowed from Einstein: as short as possible, but no shorter. Some topics genuinely need context. The real insight is that 40 minutes of content doesn't have to mean a 40-minute session.
