Case Study: How Kuda’s L&D increased onboarding module completion rates by 40%, generated a 150% ROI, and promoted an inclusive learning culture with 5Mins.ai
Introduction
In the vibrant landscape of modern financial technology, few companies have blazed a trail as swiftly and impactfully as Kuda. Founded in 2019 by Babs Ogundeyi and Musty Mustapha, this Nigerian fintech firm has disrupted the traditional banking scene by prioritising digital innovation, financial inclusion, and a customer-centric approach. Kuda’s testament to its innovative spirit is reinforced by its meteoric growth, exceeding 6 million users and establishing itself as one of the fastest-growing fintech companies in the world in just four years.
With offices in Lagos, and Cape Town, and team members working remotely from other locations across the world, Kuda's workforce needed access to the relevant knowledge and skills that would help it thrive in the fast-paced, on-the-go world it operates in. Kuda’s L&D team was determined to find a solution that enabled their employees to learn in the flow of work and delivered tangible business outcomes that their existing solution failed to provide.
About Kuda
Challenges and Approach
Kuda strives to provide its employees with the best possible growth opportunities and enable its team to learn in a way that’s both productive and enjoyable. Kuda needed a solution that could cater to its employees’ fast-paced, on-the-go lifestyles, providing them with relevant, up-to-date knowledge and skills in just a few minutes.
The decision to implement a new learning platform was driven by limitations of their existing long form learning tools. These tools were unable to meet the demands of their learners, who sought immediate and concise answers to their questions, and deliver tangible outcomes to the organisation as a whole.
“When searching for a new platform, we prioritised finding a learning solution that not only offered cost-effective pricing aligned with the organisation's budget but also featured adaptive learning capabilities. These capabilities were essential for adjusting content basedon our employees' progress and performance. Additionally, we sought a platform with a customisable interface to reflect our organisation's branding and ensure compliance with industry regulations and data security standards.” - Kuda Academy
Enter 5Mins.ai, the skills based bite-sized learning platform.
Implementing a new solution presented unique challenges, including aligning with organisational goals, gaining stakeholder buy-in, encouraging learner adoption, and maximising the platform's features.
Kuda addressed these challenges through a user-centric approach, leveraging 5Mins.ai’s features like gamification and AI-driven personalisation to foster peer-to-peer learning, thereby creating greater overall learner engagement. Having built up as a skills based learning platform, 5Mins.ai empowered learners to keep track of their progress and develop in areas relevant to their goals and enabled management teams to assign courses that filled the business’ skill gaps.
