The challenge

Aesculap AG wanted to incorporate the need for new knowledge into its continuing education offerings over the long term, as changing customer behavior, new market conditions, and the digital transformation require its employees to develop new skills.

The path

Aesculap AG has chosen Haufe Learning Experience as its software solution to connect and engage employees .

1. Introduction and Announcement

  • Decision to implement the platform at Aesculap
  • A combination of traditional communication (intranet) and viral dissemination through word of mouth and early adopters

2. Launch by pioneers and leaders

  • A small group of executives creates the initial content (videos, podcasts, PDFs, links)
  • More internal experts ; respect and recognition motivate them to create their own content
  • Authentic, imperfect videos of board members help break down barriers

3. Trust, appreciation, and dynamism

  • Early adopters report positive experiences and are appreciated
  • Content is created without central approval, monitoring, or authorization—trust in employees initiative
  • Positive effects on acceptance, emulation, and the openness of traditional structures

The result

Within just four months, the Haufe Learning Experience had reached 80% active users, with roughly half of the content—such as videos—uploaded independently by employees. The LXP thus quickly LXP into a central tool for personalized and social learning, laying the foundation for the acquisition of diverse skills and agile working in a dynamic, digitalized world. User-generated content was particularly popular, as the high view counts for the courses impressively demonstrate.
