Instead a new role is needed. Performance consulting is a process to identify the real problem and cause, and provide appropriate solutions. And that should be L&D’s role.

In thinking through my design checklist, I was pondering how information comes from SMEs, and the role it plays in learning design. Of course, ultimately they should refer to the models, and show the underlying thinking, but that may be our role (and if that’s hard, maybe we either have the wrong story or the wrong model).

In the book by Jos & Charles, along with their colleague Vivian Heijnen, on the topic, there’s a whole methodology that encompasses 5 roles and 28 steps. The framework’s role is to help people recognize this, and not leave the 70 and 20 to chance. Now, there are times when the ratio changes.

If science and theory can’t provide the answer, you either wing it, but it’s better if you set up an experiment. So, for instance, you don’t know whether to place the learner’s role in the simulation game as a consultant to many orgs or as a role in one org with many situations. Finally, you test.

I’m participating in an engagement, and they were struggling to define my role. The prevailing definition is: a trusted person who asks provocative questions, provides data to be examined through another lens, and offers critiques of a person’s work as a friend. It’s a fun, though challenging role.

Similarly social would play a much more central role, arguably our first recourse. Managers would be playing a leadership and mentoring & coaching role rather than a directive role. Providing support when needed, and leveraging the power of people will be key. This is the vision of the Coherent Organization.

An interesting other cut is that you can do something contextual for any or all of these areas as well: you could provide a contextually relevant or local directory of mentors for formal social or collaborators for performance support. Social plays a role in both formal and performance support, as does content.

To me, it is more a matter of providing infrastructure to support informal learning, and facilitating informal learning as well. When I talk about providing infrastructure, I’m talking about putting in place tools that can be used for informal learning. I see two roles. Are you formalizing informal learning?

What’s involved is tighter templates around content roles, metadata describing the content, and management of the content. This allows flexibility and rules that can pull differentially by different contexts: different people, different role, different need, and different device.

And one of the things that I noted was that in talking about the future of libraries, I hadn’t discussed a particular role they could and should play.

Aligning and evaluating the assessment, and providing scrutable justification for the assessment attributes (e.g. accreditation) is going to continue to be a role for some time. I think there will continue to be a role for doing so, even if we make it possible to develop e necessary understanding in any way the learner chooses.

But here we’re talking about the ongoing societal role of libraries. Not all the necessary resources are books or even print, and as libraries are now providing video and audio as well as print, and on to computer access to resources beyond the library’s collection, so too can it be about people. But it goes further.

I think that, before we completely abandon the LMS (and that’s not necessarily what they advocate), we should examine the key capabilities an LMS provides and determine whether that role can be taken up elsewhere or how it can manifest in the broader system.

No one wants to interact with a person reading rote questions: that’s a role for tech. It may still benefit from some support, but this shifts the L&D role to facilitation, not design.
