What are Missions?
A Mission is a structured journey that guides people step by step through a defined path. Missions are not limited to learning content. They are designed to orchestrate actions across the full GFoundry platform, turning training, onboarding, and organisational initiatives into a clear sequence with measurable progress.
The key difference: cross-module journeys
Missions can combine learning with actions from other GFoundry modules. This makes them ideal when the goal is not only “learn something”, but also “do something” and prove adoption.
Depending on your configuration, a Mission can include goals such as:
Completing a Content item (article, slides, PDF, video, embedded resource)
Completing a quiz or knowledge check
Submitting a form or survey (feedback, eNPS, assessment)
Completing tasks or assignments
Participating in internal initiatives (events, challenges, campaigns)
Giving or receiving recognition
Achieving goals or KPI milestones
Any other integrated action your tenant supports
How Missions work
Missions are built from two core elements:
Milestones
Milestones are the main stages of the journey (for example: Introduction, Practice, Validation).
Goals
Goals are the concrete actions learners must complete within each milestone. Each goal is trackable, so progress is visible and outcomes are measurable.
This structure creates a visual roadmap where users always know:
what they have completed
what comes next
what success looks like at the end
Why use Missions?
Orchestrate real behaviour change
Because Missions can include actions beyond learning, they are a practical tool to drive adoption of processes, tools, and habits.
Structured and motivating journeys
Milestones and visible progress reduce friction and increase completion, especially in longer initiatives.
Measurable outcomes
Every goal is trackable, which makes it easier to report participation and completion and identify drop-off points.
Engagement and gamification
Missions can be combined with points, badges, leaderboards, rewards, and recognition (depending on your setup) to increase participation and momentum.

When to use Missions vs Learning Paths vs Training Programs
Use Missions when you want a structured journey that may include learning plus actions across multiple GFoundry modules.
Use Learning Paths when you only need a lightweight, linear sequence of Content items.
Use Training Programs when you need formal training with scheduling, enrolment rules, and evaluation stages.
