As a professional instructional designer, you care about providing real answers to real business problems. But you may often feel like you’re expected to merely “deliver training” on a particular topic, with little strategic consideration given to the underlying gaps that need to be addressed in order to achieve results. Training That Delivers Results reveals how you can dig deeper to connect learning solutions with strategic business goals—and become a more valued business partner in the process. The book offers a systematic yet flexible approach that will work effectively in almost any industry or with any subject matter. This results-oriented model enables you to: • Analyze performance gaps • Create targeted performance objectives and connect them with the right measurement tools • Determine the best instructional strategy and the appropriate media • Build consensus with project blueprint meetings • Evaluate the effectiveness of training and use the data to continually improve Filled with tools, case studies, client stories, and examples of work products, this one-of-a-kind guide provides very practical strategies. It shows how to develop highly focused training solutions, how to measure their effectiveness, and most importantly, how to take a powerfully proactive approach to organizational needs. After delving deeply into Training That Delivers Results, you’ll be able to look squarely at long-standing business quandaries and provide a response that resolves the issue and takes your organization (and your career) to new heights of success.
