Is it Percentage or Performance?

…and I tend to believe that the “environment” defining each organizations’ learning and performance ecosystem is unique. Attempting to put learning and performance support into specific sized boxes is an unnecessary complication. For this camper, the objective is clearly one of driving performance…versus adhering to concept percentages.

Intentional Design Vs ADDIE

The “intentional” aspect of this design model is focused on impacting performance at the point of work first. This methodology is at the core of a Learning & Performance paradigm, which, by the way, is inclusive of training…but only if and when it is necessary. Our objective is shrinking time-to-impact, not time-to-training.

AGILE Is As AGILE Does

As with earlier conferences that I’ve spoken at this year, there is once again a lot of buzz around the concept of AGILE. AGILE what? That is a key question to ask because from what I’m seeing, not all AGILE approaches are scoped equally when it comes to learning and performance solutions.

Using Bass Ackward Design for Performer Support

Knowing what to do…and being equipped [supported] to effectively do what needs done… are the equivalent of comparing great training to the effective application of learning. We train the former…and we support the performer on the latter. This distinction becomes a liability when we treat performer support as an add-on to training or as an after-the-fact development cycle rather than including it as part of our core design discipline.
