The 5 Moments of Need Methodology
APPLY Synergies is the leading provider of 5 Moments of Need workflow learning solutions.
Our foundation is the 5 Moments of Need Framework and the EnAble Methodology, which are crucial for developing performance-first learning solutions, starting with the moment of Apply.
The 5 Moments of Need

The 5 Moments of Need® present a practical framework to drive higher job performance. The 5 Moments of Learning Need focus on the different times where workers need learning. They are: Apply—when you are learning while in the flow of work, Change—when you are adapting to change, Solve—when you need to solve a problem, New—when you are learning something for the first time, and More—when you are expanding your knowledge.
When learning is designed against these moments of need, job performance not only becomes more effective, but the performer gets more done—quicker and with minimal disruption and frustration. By addressing these moments effectively, organizations can optimize learning outcomes and drive tangible results in the flow of work.

The EnABLE methodology and related tools cover all the key milestones necessary for the successful deployment of a performance-first approach to designing, developing, and implementing advanced learning solutions that improve worker productivity and efficiency.

Engage to Align
Engage to Align encourages early collaboration to align learning objectives with business priorities and define key metrics for evaluating the impact of a successful solution.
Analyze to Design
Analyze to Design provides the structure and tools to identify processes, tasks, steps, and resources needed to provide relevant information while the worker is in the flow of work. We also create a Digital Coach blueprint that allows for quick and easy access to information.
Build to Implement
Build to Implement equips you with the tools to build and launch a comprehensive learning solution based on the blueprint developed during the Analyze to Design phase. During the building process, we ensure that traditional ILT and vILT are integrated with the Digital Coach to boost the efficiency of both learning environments.
Leverage to Sustain
Leverage to Sustain is critical to the long-term success of any learning solution. By providing maintenance and governance, we ensure that content is up to date and well-curated.
Evaluate
Evaluate enables ongoing measurement of real improvements in performance. Our measurement strategies go beyond usability and satisfaction surveys to measure business impact, productivity gains, ROI, and other key metrics.
