The Revolutionary 456 Learning Experience Alters Skills Learning & Development in 3 Stages
SEAC, Southeast Asia’s SMART Learning leader (meeting modern learning needs) has integrated content, technology, design, and learning experience expertise to reimagine learning for today’s learners using their patented 456 methodologies.
Both individuals’ and economies’ futures require more people of all ages and walks of life to have access to upskilling opportunities to create life-changing outcomes. 456 provides an affordable, scalable approach, exponentially improving experiences and capability for every learner, 7-70+ in our AI/Tech transformed world. The 456 Learning Experience brings future-ready learning experiences to more people, in a potential US$7 Trillion market.
BANGKOK, THAILAND – Media OutReach – 2 February 2023 – SEAC, Southeast Asia’s SMART learning leader today launch their 456 Smart Learning Ecosystem to address the slow rate at which the education and training industries are evolving their learning approaches . SEAC has innovated and refined its approach over the last ten years to better meet learners needs in this new era of rapid change and upskilling. SEAC’s 456 learning experience solution integrates content, technology, design, and experience expertise to reimagine learning by using their trademarked 456 methodologies.
The solution begins with defining the five phases that a learner must go through to ensure buy-in, value, retention, and application: essentially, a bridge across their skill gap. Following that, SEAC weaves four distinct learning lines to support the learners in crossing that bridge to their future. Finally, SEAC incorporates targeted lab experiences to assist learners in accelerating and applying their new skills with confidence and impact. SEAC’s 4-Line Learning, 5-Phase Development, and 6 Learning Labs are a technology-enabled ecosystem and toolkit for effectively closing the massive skill gaps learners’ face.
Understanding the three major frameworks:
4-Line Learning: Weaving four distinct modes of learning, OnLine, InLine, FrontLine, and BeeLine, to foster community and momentum for maximum learning impact.
5-Phase Development: The five stages that learners must go through to effectively buy in, learn, retain, and apply new skills, mindsets, and tools. The suggested order is as follows:
— Phase 1: Introduce & Enroll: What is the significance of what I am about to learn? What is the value to me?
— Phase 2: Baseline and Measure: What does good look like in the context of what I’m about to learn? What am I doing now? Where and with whom might I apply this new mindset/skillset?
–Phase 3: Connect and Inspire: What impact can we have if we truly succeed? How will I/we collaborate with others to learn and grow as a community?
–Phase 4: Build and Integrate: How will I apply this content to my work, and where and with whom will I apply this new mindset/skill?
Phase 5: Consolidate and Sustain: What mindsets, skills, and tools are the most useful? Where and how will I put them to use and keep the momentum?
6 Learning Labs: Short, powerful, targeted interventions added at the right moment to speed up and boost learning and application. These are some examples: —Unpacking: Unpacking for greater comprehension and application
—Skill Practice: ‘Acting out’ current situations with my new skills and tools.
—S.T.A.R. Application and Reflection: Planning, executing, and reflecting on applying my learning in situations in my work/life that I am attempting to change,
—Group/Individual Coaching: Support for action learning projects and applications on a group, team, and individual basis.
—Impact Presentations: Documenting and sharing the outcomes of my learning with others.
—Communities of Practice: A group of lifelong learners who share a passion for sustaining change.
By combining these three learning design and delivery frameworks yield an effective, learner-focused experience that reduces unnecessary content, activities, and distractions in favor of context and application
“This ever-changing environment we live in today has brought us great technological advancements as well as unexpected problems,” said Arinya Talerngsri, SEAC Chief Capability Officer, Managing Director, and Founder. “Smart Learning is still getting used to its new normal. As a critical solution provider in Thailand, we are still transitioning from “short-term surge” to “long-term transformation” while overcoming other obstacles. However, our most recent educational innovations are producing astounding results. The context and learner needs are prioritized over content in SEAC’s upskilling methodology. As a result, our star 456 Learning Experience is user-oriented and focuses on learners’ immediate needs, as should any similar education and training framework.”
SEAC leads the Thai Smart Learning market and provides high-quality, all-inclusive smart education to a diverse range of learners and organizations seeking to upgrade their capabilities. SEAC are the only holistic SMART Learning Service provider and hold 35% of the Thai upskilling market. The Company created a learning -experience for people of all age that serves as a bridge to the other side and a better self and future.
SEAC’s innovative 456 Learning Experience encourages learners to find the best and most useful ways to learn, apply, and grow by balancing out other out-of-date L&D models. “Practicality and creativity are important parts of who we are as an organization, and they are deeply ingrained in our DNA,” Ms. Arinya Talerngsri continued. “We have obligations to everyone, whether they are users or not. Gaining a larger share of the $7 trillion global consumer market for education is both difficult and worthwhile. We will give back to the industry and rely on the capital market to assist us in empowering our learners and partner organizations through learning.”

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach – 2 February 2023 –Harnessing the scale of two million listings listed in the electronics category every quarter, leading multi-category platform for secondhand in Greater Southeast Asia Carousell Group has doubled down on driving electronics recommerce across the region since acquiring control of Laku6, the leading AI-first end-to-end electronics recommerce platform in Indonesia. The Group has integrated the Laku6 team’s expertise and proprietary AI-first diagnostic technology with Carousell Group’s tens of millions of monthly active users across Greater Southeast Asia to launch new features to make selling and buying secondhand electronics more trusted and convenient.
Laku6’s dedicated Diagnostic Centre for the Singapore market, as well as their Singapore team, are now housed in the same space as Carousell’s Singapore office and regional headquarters to centralise operations and facilitate collaboration. Additionally, both the Group and Laku6’s tech teams have been working closely to continually enhance the recommerce experience for our customers across the Group’s platforms.
“There is huge potential for electronics recommerce in Greater Southeast Asia, which is slated to grow over 2.5X to US$18.6 billion by 2026, and Carousell Group is well placed to cement our leadership. Together with Temasek unit Heliconia Capital, we had made one of the largest capital investments in the region for electronics recommerce, by earmarking US$25 million for the expansion of electronics recommerce. We have seen strong results in the past few months. Laku6 has continued to maintain its leading position in Indonesia’s online mobile recommerce market, having inspected and transacted over half a million mobile phones. Carousell has seen a growth of 55% in the past half year alone in mobile phone transactions,” said Quek Siu Rui, Group CEO and Co-founder, Carousell Group.
Instant cash for time-starved sellers
One of the new features from the Laku6 integration is the launch of end-to-end service Sell to CarousellinSingapore, where users have an advanced option to sell their mobile phones directly to Carousell in under 24 hours from the comfort of their homes or by dropping-off their phones at any iStudio outlet. The exclusive partnership with iStudio, the largest Apple Premium Reseller in Singapore, provides Carousell access to over 20 drop-off points across the island, significantly optimising logistics, and in return, provides iStudio with new selling opportunities.
With Sell to Carousell, users fill in a short form about their phone condition on the app or website to get an estimated quote generated by the Group’s smart pricing algorithm. They can choose if they want to have a Carousell agent visit their home for device inspection and instant payout or visit a physical store themselves to complete the process.
Sell to Carousell is able to provide quick on-the-spot diagnosis with the use of Laku6’s proprietary AI-first diagnostic technology, which can inspect the condition of secondhand mobile phones in under two minutes, and smart pricing algorithm to confirm the final quote. This process is fully automated to remove the element of human error during assessment, and users are free to change their minds on selling with no obligations upon receiving the final quote.
Founder of Laku6 Alvin Yap said, “Almost 60% of users in our user research say that they do not consider selling their old phones as they felt it was too much of a hassle to do so. Hence we have been working on developing solutions tailored for local market needs, using Laku6’s proprietary technology, to provide additional choices on top of our current open marketplace. Since the soft launch in September 2022, the program has shown signs of a strong product market fit with thousands of phones processed,” said Mr Yap.
“We have seen how Sell to Carousell has been able to unlock new user segments by reaching out to time-starved buyers who want to sell secondhand phones. We will soon launch similar products in Vietnam and Malaysia, where we have a leadership position in classifieds through our brands Cho Tot and Mudah.my respectively, and continue to make the recommerce market more accessible in the region. Additionally, our next milestone as a Group is to provide an advanced option to buy certified mobile phones that come with warranty for users who want to buy secondhand phones with the peace of mind and convenience of buying a new phone. These will give our users more choice and flexibility on how they wish to shop secondhand,” said Mr Quek.
