Best Use Cases for TED in the Workplace
Use Case Example
Customer Success Team's Favorite TED Talks
• Assign an engaging TED talk to lunch and learn attendees (ramp
up engagement by linking a public forum for employees to post
comments). Hold an informal lunch and learn session for people to
expand on their feedback and share additional ideas or workplace
applications of the content.
• Curate (or ask the OpenSesame team to curate!) talks that relate to
common leadership challenges. Assign new leaders to groups and
let them work through the learning track that resonates with them.
• As an extension activity, create a shared space for new leaders in
the same track to connect and discuss how they will apply their
learning to their role.
• Curate (or ask the OpenSesame team to curate!) engaging topics
to make available for employees to choose from when they want a
thought-provoking break in their day.
• Equip ERG leaders with a list of TED talks related to their ERG
theme. Leaders use these as a resource for meetings to promote
safe conversation in a shared space.
