We live in a world where online content delivery is more tailored and personalized than ever. Modern consumers are accustomed to an eerily personalized search experience, where recommendations reflect the search parameters used and the preferences of the person searching. It only takes a few minutes of scrolling through your favorite social media feed to see the underlying smart curation technology at work—tailoring and adapting future recommendations based on every interaction, click, and page view. Everywhere online media is consumed, the question has shifted from, "Is there enough content?" to, "How do we identify the right content for the right audience at the right moment?" The same challenging question stumps Learning and Development professionals, especially in a world where expert curation has become the expectation. How do we equip learners with the tools and skills they need at the right moment and in a format that resonates with them? Fortunately, this challenge becomes much easier to tackle with a curation strategy in place.
