In their words
What L&D and people leaders tell us
From global talent teams to founders, the pattern repeats: when learning fits real life, people choose it.
“
After bringing on Blinkist, our employees' enthusiasm for learning has seen the biggest change. They appreciate the fact that we made it available to them, and they're able to use it for their own growth and development.
Lloyd WilkyDirector, Joining Amazon Services

Within the first three months of our partnership with Blinkist, we had over 70% adoption and 96% of content consumed via audio. With our agents spending most of their day on the go, they've got to find ways to fit learning into their life. Blinkist is the solution.
Curtis HaddockCo-Founder, Brix Realty
“
If your people say they don't have time for learning, Blinkist is the solution to address that challenge effectively. And unlike many other tools in the L&D space, Blinkist is fun and simple to use.
Mark AbrahamGlobal Head of Talent Development, Trustpilot

We were interested in Blinkist primarily for our busiest managers, but quickly started using it in ways that ranged from self-directed learning to incorporating Blinks in our leadership classes. We even got our CEO and most senior leaders to share their Top Picks with the rest of the organization!
Chris CourneenVP, Global Head of Human Resources, MSI

Often the feedback is, "I don't have time to sit and attend courses in a workshop or online." Blinkist has been an accessible way of allowing people to learn, in 15-minute snapshots.
Blinkist is helping to address our two biggest goals this year: upskilling our leadership and digitizing learning. Our people, especially leaders, want just-in-time learning at their fingertips. Search, find an answer, and upskill immediately.

We believe in learning that's autonomous, self-directed and, most important, relevant. We get this with Blinkist. And all the better that it bridges the gap between professional and personal development!

Blinkist's built-in analytics in the Admin Space give me a clear view of how our users are growing and what titles they're most interested in. It helps us be even better and more balanced when presenting information in our custom-built catalogs.

I thought it was quite brilliant to use Blinks to help us get acquainted with leadership ideas you could absorb in a few minutes. I could listen on the bus or the train and let them sink in before our group session.
