In a fast developing and disruptive digital‐driven era, it has become evident that organizational learning could
not have stayed unaffected either by the hype or the need for transformation. Corporate training experts are challenged
to find ways to enhance learners’ engagement in a new digital learning eco‐system and to provide them with an overall
meaningful experience. Additionally, they have to ensure that the whole organization in which the learning takes place
will profit the most.
This chapter elaborates on how narrative structures as an integrated part of a unique development model for
e‐learning are used to maximize learners’ engagement and learning. This model has been used in several training
initiatives in the corporate environment and it leverages different pedagogical strategies, behavioral change, and
psychological theories and concepts. Most importantly, the use of stories is the groundwork where the development teams,
the learners, and the various stakeholders involved interact with each other through a participatory process. When using
these concepts, it becomes attainable to capture and leverage the informal learning, which takes place in every corner
of the organization and appropriately transform it to formal e‐learning programs for the profit of the whole
organization.
Inspiring challenges, practical examples, process parts, and extracts from e‐learning courses where the
above‐mentioned model is used are deployed in this chapter. They give a clear view of how narrative structures work in
a newly induced digital ecosystem in the organization field of learning, and how it becomes feasible to maintain the
human contact needed for an efficient learning outcome.
