Skillsoft incidentally were the sponsors for the event and I have a nice shiny skillsoft conference bag to prove it! The chap who presented this session did say it was a ‘very dry topic’ I did however find the advice practical and cetainly useful from a high level perspective (arguably from a higher level than I actually need to be aware of). Essentially the presentation boiled down to ‘the six essential pracices’ in terms of business allighned learning. Yes it is management speak but take a look and see what you think
Identify the business objectives and partner with stakeholders
Understand the business need
Establish goals
Determine the performance requirements
Aligh the learning solution
Develop and execute a measurement plan
Look familiar? To me it feels very much like project management principles. If we switch out the language of business for that that of education there is cetinaly some value to following these practices. To be on safer ground I would elect for good practice rather than best practice.
