Applying Innovation to
Organizational Training Needs
I develop and lead customized
training programs that motivate, educate and develop employees.
These innovative programs for technical
training and “soft skills” development appeal to a variety of
learning styles. They engage your adult learners in ways that
lecture alone never will. Training is more effective and results in
long-lasting performance improvement.
Training is designed for your
organization, based on research about your organization as well as
the topic. In addition to 15 years of teaching experience, I draw on principles of:
- Adult learning theories
- Learning styles (visual, auditory, kinesthetic,
etc.)
- Accelerated Learning
- Action Learning
How the Instructional Design
Process Works for Your Organization
I meet with you to discuss and
determine your training needs and the learning objectives. I interview your organization’s SMEs (Subject Matter Experts) and
if necessary, conduct independent research on the topic. Then I
prepare a design plan that includes a minimum of
lecture interspersed with other selected, appropriate learning tools
such as:
- Large group activities (Action Mapping,
Discovery Mapping, Process Mapping, Force Field Analysis,
discussion, brainstorming, etc.)
- Small group activities (Speak-and-Listen,
Investigate and Report, 2-4-8 Preference Selection, etc.)
- Individual activities (Hands-on experience,
Lab practice and review, Action Plans, etc.)
- Environment enhancement and training theme
- Discovery, practice and review games
- Peer coaching
- In-class applications of concepts to current
work projects
Because this design integrates learning modalities
that appeal to a variety of learning styles, it engages adult
learners in a way that lecture alone never will. Training is more
effective and learning more long-lasting.
After you review and approve the design,
I provide a complete learning package written
specifically for your organization. Deliverables typically include:
- Facilitator Guide
- Facilitator Check List
- List of Facilitator Materials
- Power Point slides
- Flipcharts and other visuals
- Participant Guide, including graphics that
support the text and engage adult learners
- Train the Trainer presentation
Contact me to discuss the specifics of how I can customize a
learning package to suit your organization's training needs.
