What happens when a large learning organization shifts its focus from delivering training to enabling performance?
In this episode of the Performance Matters podcast, Bob Mosher sits down with Christy Pletcher and Scott Schmoldt of UnitedHealthcare (UHC) to explore their real-world journey toward building a performance-first learning organization. Together, they share four principles that have helped UHC transform how its learning teams design, support, and measure learning in the flow of work.
The conversation explores spaced learning, automating knowledge, subtraction over addition, and engaging to align—and, more importantly, how these principles have been applied to real business challenges. Christy and Scott share examples of using microlearning over time, changing workplace conditions and incentives to reinforce new behaviors, reducing unnecessary training, and aligning learning efforts around measurable performance outcomes.
The results are significant, including stronger performance, reduced onboarding time, increased digital engagement, and a reported $10 million annual run-rate savings from one redesigned onboarding program.
This episode offers an inside look at how UHC is moving beyond the traditional “training event” mindset and building a learning organization that helps people perform better, faster, and in the flow of work. It’s a practical case study for learning leaders looking to build a 5 Moments of Need capability and demonstrate greater business value. Listen or download now!

AI is transforming the way organizations work, but successful AI adoption starts with understanding the work itself.

This episode clears up the 70:20:10 confusion and discusses what workflow learning is and how to operationalize it. This week's host, Bob Mosher, also clears up how microlearning fits in and the benefits of shifting to design for the workflow.
Probably one of the most misunderstood concepts in Learning and Development is the journey our learners are on to become, and remain, competent. For too long, we’ve left them at the “door”, meaning once our training events were over, be them live or online, we’ve not journeyed into transfer and sustain in an intentional way.
In this episode Bob and Con outline the three critical stages of any performer’s journey to competency. It ties these three stages to The 5 Moments of Need and outlines how they help us design for all three parts. It also addresses the myths of “blended learning” and helps us realize that most blended learning solutions are actually “blended training” solutions, ignoring the critical phases of transfer and sustain, leaving our learners to fend for themselves in the most important part of their learning journey – the workflow!
In this episode Bob Mosher is joined by the pioneer of The 5 Moments of Need, Dr. Conrad Gottfredson. He introduces The 5 Moments of Need, a methodology to help L&D professionals better serve their learners well beyond training and into the workflow in a scalable and intentional way.
Con also shares the history of The 5 Moments and how it has evolved into a well vetted and robust methodology. He discusses a few critical first steps any organization, or designer, can take to begin adopting The 5 Moments of Need as a pivotal approach to their learning and support deliverables. Lastly, he outlines three common mistakes made when beginning this journey.
In this introductory podcast, Bob Mosher shares the motivation and concepts behind The 5 Moment of Learning Performance Matter Series. He overviews how the idea for the channel was born, as well as three reasons why Learning and Development needs to shift to a performance-first mindset now more than ever! He even shares the “Minnow Story” that, for him, started it all!
