What I Focus on
I have found successful outcomes depend on critical factors. Below I outline key formative aspects I focus on.
Getting Business Results
Utilizing training for business success entails equipping employees with essential knowledge, skills, and tools to excel in their roles and drive overall organizational achievements. Frequently, training professionals are provided directives rather than a precise problem definition and the criteria for a successful solution. Absence of a clear problem definition makes measuring success notably challenging. To address this, I implement an extended framework called DMADDIE. This framework contextualizes ADDIE by anchoring it in the business problem definition and the metrics used to gauge success.
Throughout my professional journey, I’ve partnered with fellow leaders to propel our companies forward. While grasping learning theories and developmental techniques is vital for effective training, the paramount factor is a genuine commitment to fearlessly seek, craft, and execute the optimal solutions to achieve our business objectives.
Achieving User Performance
Assisting individuals in acquiring new skills is undeniably complex. Many instructional designers wish that creating training based on learning theory were as straightforward as applying mathematical or engineering principles. However, reality is different. People are often not easily quantifiable, yet learning theory offers a semblance of predictability to our endeavors.
Delivering learners the necessary tools for optimal performance hinges on four essential elements: Structure, representing the cultural norms and context of their tasks; Environment, encompassing the conditions in which they operate; Motivation, the driving force for accurate task execution or avoidance of errors (distinct concepts); and Training, which encompasses the actual knowledge, skills, and abilities to consistently and accurately carry out tasks.
Improving User Experience
Prioritizing user needs forms the core of ADDIE, a framework designed to dissect these needs. Yet, all the effort invested in this endeavor loses significance if users encounter a subpar learning experience. While training aids work, it should never feel laborious. Captivating learners through engaging activities, innovative approaches, and insightful scenarios must consistently take precedence.
Nonetheless, seasoned instructional designers comprehend the complexity of balancing creative excellence with imposed timelines. I consistently endeavor to provide not only effective skill training but also a positive user encounter. This is undoubtedly challenging! Over time, I’ve realized that while effective training and tangible business outcomes are vital, they cannot function in isolation. We must also aim to emotionally resonate with learners through meaningful, applicable, and unforgettable experiences.
