Enabling the Transition to A2L Refrigerants Through Scalable Learning
The Opportunity
As the industry transitions to A2L refrigerants, employees across the organization must quickly understand new regulations, safety considerations, and system impacts.
At the same time, customer-facing teams need to confidently explain these changes and navigate complex conversations.
This created a need for a learning solution that supports both foundational understanding and real-world application across different roles.
Solution
I designed a scalable, blended learning strategy that supports both internal knowledge building and customer-facing conversations.
The solution includes:
An evergreen foundational course for all employees
A sales-focused experience to support customer conversations
Live learning sessions led by SMEs to deepen understanding and answer questions
Built in Rise360 and supported by MidJourney visuals, the experience simplifies complex information and prepares employees to apply what they’ve learned in real-world scenarios.

🔷Learning Strategy & Design Approach
This solution was grounded in learning science and designed for both clarity and application:
ARCS Model (Attention, Relevance, Confidence, Satisfaction):
Attention: Real-world scenarios and industry context
Relevance: Role-based examples tailored to employee needs
Confidence: Guided practice and clear explanations
Satisfaction: Practical takeaways employees can immediately apply
Rapid Prototyping (lite SAM):
Early prototypes enabled quick alignment with stakeholders
Iterative feedback loops improved clarity and usability
Supported a fast, high-visibility rollout
Blended Learning Approach:
Self-paced eLearning builds foundational knowledge
Live sessions provide deeper exploration and discussion
Supports both independent learning and real-time engagement
🔷Designing for Different Audiences
Foundational Learning (All Employees)
Designed to create a shared baseline understanding across the organization:
Simplifies complex regulatory and technical concepts
Uses scenario-based learning to connect content to real-world impact
Establishes a common language across teams
Sales Enablement (Customer Conversations)
Designed to support application in high-stakes, customer-facing scenarios:
Provides structured conversation frameworks
Addresses common customer concerns and objections
Includes “try saying” language to guide clear, confident communication
🔷 Bridging Learning to Real-World Application
The experience goes beyond knowledge transfer by focusing on how employees apply what they’ve learned:
Scenario-based interactions simulate real situations
Sales-focused content prepares employees for live conversations
Live sessions create space for questions, discussion, and deeper understanding
This ensures employees are not only informed—but confident in applying their knowledge in practice.

🔷 Design Decisions & Impact
The solution was intentionally designed to be scalable, clear, and adaptable:
Evergreen structure: Content can evolve with regulatory updates
Modular design: Supports different roles and learning needs
Visual clarity: MidJourney-generated visuals enhance understanding and engagement
As a result, the learning experience:
Builds confidence across the organization
Supports consistent customer messaging
Reduces reliance on SMEs for basic questions
Scales across teams and evolving business needs
🔷 Tools & Technology
Rise360 AI (interactive eLearning)
MidJourney (visual design support)
Live SME sessions (facilitated learning)
