Integrated Learning Strategy Development
Business Needs
Identifying business needs is the essential first step in creating impactful and measurable learning:
- What problems need to be solved?
- What opportunities are available?
- Establish what’s happening now that needs to stop or what isn’t happening that needs to start
- Determine the cause (not just the symptoms)
- Identify the skills/knowledge/behaviours that will benefit from training
- Create measurable learning outcomes
How Will the Learning Support Organisational Priorities?
Once business needs have been firmly established, discussions turn to the learning and how it will support the business needs.
- What skills do the learners need to learn?
- What knowledge do the learners need to acquire?
- What behaviours do the learners need to demonstrate?
Create Measurable Learning Outcomes
What will learners be able to do after completing the learning? What will success look like?
The three overarching categories of learning outcomes are:
- Observable behaviours
- Demonstrable skills
- Application of knowledge
Objectives should be learner focused, not training focused.
Find out more about measurable outcomes.
Measure the Learning
There are numerous ways to measure the learning outcomes, some of which include:
- Demonstration of knowledge or skills
- Observation of skills or behaviours
- Assessments
- Action learning
- Portfolios
- Artefacts
- Questionnaires
- Presentations
- Analysis (for example case studies)
- 360 degree pre- and post-learning assessments
During learning design, we’ll recommend the most suitable measurement options.
Return on Investment
Return on investment can be tricky to measure, however it can be done.
We know the importance of demonstrating the success of the learning. Octivo can support you in quantifying and monetising the impact the learning has on business outcomes.
The Learning Solution
Who Are the Learners?
Octivo takes a learner-centred design approach to creating development experiences, whereby the learner is at the centre. Too often, learning solutions are developed without considering the target audience: the learners.
Successful design
Successful design analyses the wants, needs and learning environment of the target audience. Octivo design considers the following learner factors:
- Learning environment
- Learning devices
- When the learning will take place
- Asynchronous vs synchronous completion
- Motivation (what’s in it for the learner)
- Current capability/knowledge
Digital Learning Platform Requirements
Most learning is housed on a digital learning platform, facilitating enrolment of in-person learning events, through to the completion of eLearns.
Octivo will work with you to identify your learning platform needs.
Learning Options
Octivo specialises in blended learning, a hybrid approach of both digital and in-person learning.
We’ll discuss a range of options with you:
- Available on-demand vs single point in time
- Digital vs in-person
- Digital options: eLearn, webinar and workshop
- Octivo facilitation/delivery vs in-house facilitation/delivery
- Learning tools and resources
We know learning is not a tick the box exercise, contact us today to discuss how an integrated learning strategy can support your business needs.
