Begin each course with an identified business need or competence gap Design the course around a multi-step work activity, not around sequences of content Let the participant and their supervisor complete a learning agreement Design according to research based, best practice guidelines (web- based) Build in: peer interaction, use of communinities, supervisor interaction, contacts with experts outside of the course Integrate evaluation from different perspectives Coach the supervisors and instructors Reuse selected assignments
- 24. Accelerated Learning Total learner involvement enhances learning, Learning is not the passive storage of information but the active creation of knowledge, Collaboration among learners greatly enhances learning, Activity-centered learning events are often superior to presentation-centered ones, Activity-centered learning events can be designed in a fraction of the time it takes to design presentation-centered ones

- 36. The Autonomous Learner Problem "From a tactical perspective, the learning function appears to be allocating the majority of the effort in the area of least impact."
- 38. The Timing Problem "The rapid pace of business almost guarantees that most formal learning programs will be outdated shortly after launch."
- 39. The Packaging Problem "Courses are organized around topics rather than tasks." and "The traditional packaging of formal learning is not aligned with the time sensitive needs of today's employees."
- 40. The Performance Problem "Lack of knowledge and skill is only a small part of the reason that organizations don't perform as desired."
- 41. The Routinization Problem Peter Drucker: Routinization is a phenomenom whereby existing industries initially apply radically new technology to automate and accelerate age-old processes and methods.
- 42. E-learning modules? Learning Management systems? Virtual Classroom sessions?
- 43. The Transfer Problem "Studies show that as much as 80 to 90 percent of investments in training programs fail to result in behavior change on the job."
- 44. The Value Problem "The learning function has very little understanding as to what executives expect from the learning function, and as a result it often defaults to justifying its existence based on learning throughput as opposed to performance outcome."
- 45. "Collectively, the autonomous learner, timing, and packaging problems that are not being addressed by the learning function account for the de-selection of at least 80 percent of the addressable opportunity space for learning."
