What the article I’m referencing and comments I read made clear illustrate the gyrations we are heading into now with this “new” micro-learning approach. It will be easy to become distracted, so don’t get all raked up in a pile over what we call it…or how long it should be. It’s about what it can facilitate at the moment of need to get the DO done.

Maybe it’s just me, but I’m seeing the use of 70:20:10 being used as a design framework that promotes that we pack the “70” and the “20” into the “10”. Now before anyone blows a gasket, I will admit that this practice greatly enhances the “10”, no question about it. But here’s the thing…it’s still freaking Training.
A colleague of mine described adopting a Performance Paradigm where Performance Support is fully integrated as “the project that never dies” and that’s not a bad thing, because if the paradigm dies, so do the performance benefits…and those benefits are tied directly to tangible, measurable business results.
What was most astounding in the assessment was the most obvious visible indicator of disconnect highlighted by the Agent’s readiness to perform, and it manifested on the floor with HANDS IN THE AIR. While the blame was owned at multiple levels and functions, those assigning blame were not focused on the right place, and I just wanted to jump up and shout, “Dude, it’s about the hands!”
I just finished reading an amazing book, “Chase the Lion”, by Mark Batterson, where the focus is largely examining change…personal change to be exact. But the same principles he addresses are very relevant for shifting thinking in an organization. The thinking I firmly believe we need to change is how we attempt to build sustained […]
Is there a difference between your onboarding process and the process of waterboarding? One uses water…and the other holds the new hire down and administers enough information at a continuous pace so they get the overwhelming sensation of drowning. Which one do you put your new hires through?
Why build training content as a priority if there is an asset you could build that closes an existing performance gap? I’m not saying “forget training”; rather, I’m suggesting that closing the performance gap should be FIRST PRIORITY. Designing and building an asset to support performance at the Point-of-Work is actually one of the first […]
To be effective with addressing the continuous nature of Change is to ”routinize” it by building into the organizational culture as “Ordinary Work”. That means adopting cultural mindshare that adopts a discipline and protocols of Change Leadership that are agile, resilient, and most importantly – repeatable.
After over twelve years of chasing the PS rabbit I have a confession to make…I’m done chasing PS…directly. The chase is near futile when the perfect opportunity is often deeply buried within the organization’s ecosystem, and at times, never to be recognized as a viable option because the PS solution is in a blind spot; a blind spot known as a Training Paradigm. I’ve decided the chase is too narrow, and it’s not about the PS rabbit, it’s about shaping Change around a Performance Paradigm…maybe performance support is needed…maybe not.
Leading Change to full adoption implies that we not only manage Change to deployment, we must continue to lead Change through implementation…and beyond to the desired goal of full adoption.
