Go Backwards to move (people) forward!

Sounds strange doesn’t it?  Going backwards but changing how you develop training and supporting people at the time and place of kNOW is how we can move forward.  Now I come from the classical school of ADDIE where instructional design has Curriculum driving the process.  Work with a SME to identify content, develop the lessons and modules, select media and then add in assessments.

My focus is on impacting and improving performance especially in the flow of work and I have realized it’s time to go backwards.   Backwards design begins with 3 questions: How do you define success? How does the business measure success? How do you create the path to their defined success?

There are detailed ways to use these 3 questions and if you would like to learn how to implement and use backwards design in your development process check out this short video, Go backwards to move forward!  If you would like to learn more about using backwards design in your development process or using learning as a strategic business tool send me an email or call and let’s talk!  Use the contact button above or visit our web site!
