• #7: How do we do it? Let me walk you through an example.Performance support begins when an end-user has, what we call, a moment of need. <click>This often happens when he or she is trying to remember something , something goes wrong, or something changes. As you know, this can be a rather distressing moment. <click>So, the user then calls upon LearningGuide from wherever he or she is working, which might be an application like CRM, or ERP, web portal, or even a mobile application. LearningGuide then captures the user context, including role, workflow status and system state, and then passes that information to the performance support broker. <click>Based on a set of pre-established business rules, the PS broker will then select the most appropriate learning asset from a repository. <click> The repository may include existing learning assets from an LMS (for example), and new assets from LearningGuide’s library of content, as well as custom content created by designers and SMEs.<click>Business rules, the broker, and the repository are all governed by LearningGuide’s single-source authoring and content management software, called LearningGuide Manager.<click>Now that the most appropriate learning asset has been selected, it is delivered back to the end user within seconds through the same interface used to make the request, providing just the right amount of learning, at the moment of need, allowing productive work to continue.
• #9: SCRIPT: Our clients typically start in one of two places. PSRAWe offer the PSRA for clients who want to begin with a strategic engagement focused on organizational fit, high-level business drivers, and building a proof of concept to clearly differentiate performance support for key stakeholders. The engagement is around 10 days and produces the following deliverables:LEaP (Learning Experience and Performance) andStrategy Recommendation:A systematic assessment of learning experiences and performance across the organization, identifying areas where performance support can have an immediate impact – often resulting in a recommended first project.Business Impact Assessment: LGS will work with the client to develop a document which communicates the business value of performance support to business stakeholders, written in a context and language relevant to those stakeholders.The PSRA also includes the RPAD.RPAD: For clients who’ve identified their first project we often skip ahead to the RPAD, allowing us to begin developing a business case, solution blueprint, and prototype for a specific business process or enterprise application. Just like the PSRA this is a low-risk first step designed to demonstrate the value of PS, in a more focused manor. The deliverables are as follows:Job Performance Map: structured analysis providing an outline of job tasks and related supporting concepts grouped into business processes.Critical Skills Analysis: This process ranks job skills based on importance to the overall success of the business. Solution Blueprint: The blueprint maps skills to the most appropriate “moments of need”, resulting a comprehensive plan mapping skill, audience, communication channel, formal training, and performance support. Prototype: LGS will design and develop a prototype demonstrating the viability of Performance Support within the business process selected. The solution will reuse and supplement existing learning assets to create an embedded learning environment.Rollout: Clients proceed with a full solution roll-out only after 1-2 initial steps have met expectations. A key component of this step is implementing LearningGuide’s software solution, LearningGuide Manager. As we’ve discussed, LearningGuide Manager powers your entire PS solution with brokering of existing learning assets, single-source authoring of new assets, multi-channel publishing, and measurement.
