How does the Erfolgsucher system work?

This article explains the most important functions of the system. Please note that the Success Paths and its elements may differ.

How does Success Paths work?

All Success Paths consist of steps to success. They follow a logical sequence and should be completed in this order. However, you always have complete freedom to skip steps or jump between them. The Success Paths measure your progress as a guide. As soon as you click on a step, it is considered“viewed” (green tick). You can optionally undo this (“Mark as not viewed”).

How does the navigation work?

You can use both the left navigation bar and the top bar to navigate between the steps. It also has navigation arrows at the bottom.

You can’t really do anything wrong, so have the courage to try things out. Navigation may vary slightly depending on the end device (PC, tablet and smartphone).

How do the questionnaires work?

Almost all questionnaires are optional. You decide whether you fill them in. The more conscientiously you fill them out, the greater the benefit for you and your team. If you do not answer a question, it is automatically considered “don’t know”, so your contribution will not be included.

As soon as you click on “Send”, your entries will be saved and processed automatically. You can fill out many questionnaires more than once, e.g. if you want to update the status or make several recommendations for action. The questionnaires will point this out to you.

The following rules apply to confidentiality:

No one can see how you have rated an item (=anonymous)
Everyone in your team can see what you have written as a (team) contribution (=personalized)

Where you see your entries depends on the questionnaire and Success Path. Team entries can be found in the steps where evaluations and reports are shown. You can delete and sometimes edit your own posts there. Only you can see your private entries in your notebook – in your notebook in the Success Center.

How do the contributions work?

You will always find optional blog posts on the Success Paths to inspire you. To open the post, simply click on it and to close it, click on the “x” or click outside the post. If a post is valuable to you personally, you can“like” it by clicking on the thumb icon. The post will then be added to your personal blog. Over time, you will accumulate a personal treasure trove of knowledge.

How do the games work?

The optional games are designed to be thought-provoking and not too difficult at the same time. They always refer to the relevant learning content in the Success Paths.

The game types are kept simple. There are about 10 different types of games, including memory, crossword puzzles, quizzes, sorting, summarizing, word sliding and identifying. To increase motivation, the system awards points for games and awards.

The games are quite intuitive to use. Unfortunately, for technical reasons, you have to be precise with some of them. For example, with “Move words” you have to make sure that the target field changes color.

How do the evaluations work?

All evaluations are based on questionnaires. If you have not filled one in, no report will be displayed.

All ratings are calculated dynamically. This means that if you or someone else in the team fills out a questionnaire in a new or different way, the evaluation is automatically adjusted. The evaluations therefore always change as things progress. The system naturally needs some time for the calculations.

You sometimes have a filter in your evaluations. You can use this to switch dynamically between the team report and your personal report. This way you can easily compare your assessment with that of the team.

How do the priorities work?

Depending on Success Path, you have the option of setting priorities. Your priorities are usually based on reports, so that you have well-founded indications of why you are prioritizing and how. If you have many options, the system will help you with nested prioritization. You first select relevant options and then put them in order.

In total, the system condenses the sum of your options to your top 3 – depending on the topic.
