DISCOVERY

An In-Depth Understanding of Your Needs and Goals

In the Discovery phase, I work closely with your team to gain a clear understanding of your learning objectives, challenges, and target audience. This foundation allows us to create a solution that aligns with your goals and engages your learners effectively.

  • What are your current training challenges, and what changes are you looking to see?

  • Who are your learners, and what are their unique needs and motivators?

  • How does this training align with your organization’s larger goals, such as productivity improvements, employee retention, or skill development?

By the end of Discovery, we have a shared vision for a targeted, impactful learning solution that’s designed to achieve measurable results.

DESIGN & DEVELOPMENT

Crafting Custom Learning Experiences that Stick

During Design & Development, I transform insights from Discovery into an engaging, interactive learning experience tailored to your organization.

  • Design Blueprint: I outline learning objectives, key content, and engagement strategies, ensuring alignment with your goals.

  • Prototyping: Early prototypes provide a preview of the visual style, tone, and functionality, allowing for your feedback.

  • Interactive Development: Using tools like Articulate Storyline, I build features like branching scenarios and simulations to enhance engagement.

Through rigorous testing, I refine the solution to ensure it’s effective, intuitive, and visually compelling, ready to deliver a memorable learning experience.

IMPLEMENTATION

Seamless Integration with Your Systems and Teams

Implementation brings the learning experience to life, ensuring it integrates smoothly with your systems and is accessible to your learners.

  • System Compatibility: I ensure that the training solution is compatible with your LMS, supporting SCORM or xAPI tracking.

  • Facilitator Training: If blended elements are included, I provide onboarding for facilitators to maximize impact.

  • Launch Support: I assist with rollout and offer support to address any initial adjustments needed.

This phase ensures a seamless deployment, aligning the solution with your team’s workflows for a smooth and engaging learning experience from day one.

EVALUATION & SUPPORT

Measuring Impact and Optimizing for Success

Once the training solution is live, our work doesn’t stop there. The Evaluation & Support phase is all about analyzing results, gathering feedback, and identifying opportunities for further enhancement. Here’s what this phase includes:

  • Impact Assessment: We measure results through key metrics like engagement, completion rates, and knowledge retention.

  • Learner Feedback: Gathering insights from learners to identify strengths and areas for improvement.

  • Continuous Optimization: Based on data and feedback, I recommend updates or enhancements to keep the training relevant and effective.

By thoroughly evaluating the training’s success and offering long-term support, I help you maintain a high-impact learning program that evolves alongside your organization, delivering lasting value and measurable results well beyond the initial launch.
