That’s when I looked into organizational development (OD; as our associate, Jon Husband has champions with his wirearchy work). I’m wondering if I’m missing a huge swath of work in leveraging technology to facilitate organizational development. However, that seems largely to be about databases.

A while ago, I characterized the stages of web development as: Web 1.0: producer-generated content, where you had to be able to manage a server and work in obscure codes. user-generated content, where web tools allowed anyone to generate web content.

It’s about systematically changing behavior, developing new skills to meet ever-changing needs. Here’re some signs that your elearning might not be working: Your learning unit develops courses on demand. You work from PDFs and PPTs to develop your course. Learning, properly, should have an impact.

It was in the larger context of representations for content development. In game design, there is a (dynamic) design document that captures everything as it develops. It communicates to developers, but is it good for clients? The role of a storyboard is to capture development for developers.

Then, at the end of the 90’s, I was asked to lead a team developing an adaptive learning system. They wanted to develop once and populate a variety of business products. Drawing on previous experience, I developed a robust model, which started from individual elements and supplemented and aggregated them in a systematic way.

The context was an individual who saw orgs having competency frameworks, but only focusing on skill development. You could develop skills and still not develop the ability to succeed. Increasingly, you see orgs moving to competency-based hiring as well as development. The question was where the focus should be.

If we ever get better about developing self-learning skills in school or university (ideally the former), could we eliminate the need for organizational courses? If schools start developing learn-to-learn skills, wouldn’t everyone be able to take responsibility for their own learning? E.g. will we still need L&D?

Similarly, I’ve sounded off on the problems of Training & Development, or Learning & Development. What we want are people performing optimally, and continually developing. Even when you do specific formal interventions, they should be seen as integral, not isolated in an ivory tower.

As I’ve been developing online workshops, I’ve been thinking more about the type of assessment I want. As context, many moons ago we developed a course on speaking to the media.

My take is that it’s all well and good to want to do it, but if you really want persistent new skill development, you have to do it right ! Because it’s the Learning Development Accelerator, it will be evidence-based. In the second conversation, up-skilling came up as an important trend. on top of myself and Matt Richter.

So, the issue is how to develop a curriculum. My problem is when I have an uncertain amount of content, say for a large domain, and I want to develop specific capabilities. It’s not the average course that’s the issue, but big ones, or multiple courses addressing skill gaps.

Still, it will require adjusting how we develop, to impact what we develop. However, I argue that it ultimately really doesn’t take that much more time, but there will be a speed bump until the new way of thinking becomes automatic. Process and product are linked at the wrist and ankles.

Ideally, we’d have teams doing all our design and development. We brainstorm, come up with some ideas, and they get taken away to be developed to the next level. This includes for development as well. There are benefits to working together, not just for the innovation and creativity, but also for process.

If you want to truly develop a skill, sufficient practice, over time, is required. The underlying phenomena is that we need lots of practice, for two reasons. For one, the ‘learning’ mechanism that strengthens our learning can only do so much before it needs sleep.

It’s part of what I was arguing when I suggested that the new term for L&D should be P&D, Performance & Development. When we talk about development, we’re going beyond developing the individual. The main idea is that a new area for L&D is facilitation. However, this concept also updates training.
