Don’t Settle For Less
Process: Redefining Content Creation
A hefty percentage of the people who create learning deliverables are resistant to a structured workflow. Others might be a little too dedicated to their processes. My values:
Pare processes down to the minimum.
Don’t waste people’s time.
Create clarity, not confusion.
Checklist Simplicity
Successful learning deliverables require attending to plenty of details, but no one wants to sacrifice more time to them than necessary.
Integrating the design process with checklists spurs creativity, minimizes errors, and avoids loose ends. When things get easier, learning designers relax and focus better.
Defined Workflow
Our proprietary process, Defined Workflow, aids the design, testing, and launch of learning products while raising confidence, speeding the timeline, and improving content effectiveness.
Broad enough for a wide variety of content projects, Defined Workflow allows the learning designer to skip unnecessary steps.
Proactive Strategy
Too many teams are stuck in reactivity, forever trying to accommodate stakeholders.
This can be true even when the work is largely the same year after year. It doesn’t have to be that way.
Shift your team into an eighty percent proactive mode, and watch everyone breathe a sigh of relief.
Speedy Delivery
The two competing priorities of any process are speed and quality.
Think through how to complete urgent projects speedily while still achieving the same level of quality once the urgency diminishes.
Equally important, move many of your projects from urgent to routine.
