Training alone cannot drive performance, only contribute to it; that’s the root of the problem. L&D already excels within long-held training paradigms to deliver effective knowledge transfer—it’s not wrong, it’s just not enough!

The business needs workforce productivity, meaning consistent performance at Point-of-Work, where performance represents the productivity end of a learning-performance continuum. In the current training paradigm, Point-of-Work is out of scope. Traditional training needs assessments cannot inform “intentional design” frameworks like the Five Moments of Need or even 70:20:10, both of which enable convergence of learning with work. Point-of-Work and moments of need are also out of scope for existing LMS technology. Both the conversation and tactics must change, because stakeholders have a blind spot—they expect one thing, training, and it’s not enough.

What does it mean for a learner to be engaged?

Quite literally hundreds of articles every year use the term, with few making little or any effort into defining it. But several current research efforts directed at cognition in learning environments suggest there are at least three separate factors at play: Emotional engagement, intellectual engagement, and environmental engagement.

Every day L&D is being pressured more and more to show an ROI, or Return on Investment, for the dollars spent in “training.” Designing for the 5 Moments of Need can help us move into the workflow and measure impact in ways training alone can never do. It also has a profound effect on training events, often reducing them by up to half the time needed, while making them even more impactful.

When done well, blending virtual and in-person delivery has the potential to enhance accessibility and depth of understanding.

Learning and performance improvement professionals have an overwhelmingly large bag of tricks these days. And as a result, in many cases, we’ve become Jacks and Jills of many trades and masters of none (or at least few).

This session helps talent development professionals relax, return to some basics, and re-consider the value of one of the most useful tools in our collective performance-improvement bag – the job-aid.
