Learning frameworks
Training by Design is a proven methodology for the development of the training processes. Applying this methodology to the development of a learning framework, workshops and training materials ensures the delivery of high quality content that has the greatest impact on the participant’s learning.
Our approach to the development of training frameworks takes his clients through a process of discovery. Using a collaborative process, he helps clients analyze their situation and identify their specific needs. By asking the right questions and mining what the client already knows, he is able to work with each client to ensure that he can develop the most effective training solution.
Before embarking on a training design project it is critical to develop a project charter. Creating a project charter clearly outlines the purpose of the project, the expected outcomes, timelines for each phase of completion within the project and the players or partners (and their roles) within the project.
Clarification of expectations should include but is not limited to the:
- Purpose (What problem, concern or opportunity does this product address?)
- Product (What is their definition of success for the final product?)
- Process (How will we get to the final product?)
- Part (Who should be involved and how best are they involved?)
Customized training
The Performance Group’s Training by Design methodology guarantees custom courses that reflect the unique requirements of the client organization within a learning process that engages participants and inspires effective practices for the future.
