At the DevLearn conference, I ran a Morning Buzz on Learning Design Strategy. I started with a set of questions to address, so I’ll go through their comments in roughly that order (though we didn’t exactly follow this structure): What is learning design strategy? These are all elements that indeed contribute to strategy.

social strategy' Other elements, like when to do better back end integration, and when to think about enabling via mobile, will have their own prioritization schemes, such as a highly mobile workforce for the latter. So, what am I missing?

In an article , Jared Spool talks about the strategies he sees UX leaders using. He lists 3 examples, and talks about how your strategies need to change depending on where you are in relation to the organization. It made me think about what P&D strategies could and should be. This is an ‘internal’ strategy.

In a recent discussion around HR strategy, the question arose about where to start. This was buttressed by a post pointed out to me by my ITA colleagues that was arguing a good design strategy was to find out what people needed. The post Top down or bottom up strategy? appeared first on Learnlets.

In an insightful article, Ken Majer (full disclosure, a boss of mine many years ago) has written about the need to have the right culture before executing strategy. And this strikes me as a valuable contribution to thinking about effective change in the transformation of L&D in the Revolution.

Your governance plan should include a schedule of when the group meets, what policies guide the role of governance, what metrics the governance group uses to look at the performance of the group implementing the plan (ie how the executors of the strategy are doing, not how the strategy is doing), and what partners are included.

What is a social media strategy for outreach? Your Twitter strategy should be aligned with your Facebook strategy, so your tweets point to new information on Facebook, your Facebook account reflects your tweets, etc. Once you’ve got the identity, then you need to align your Facebook and Twitter strategies.

Strategy 1. When I used to work with organizations on defining an eLearning Strategy, I always worked from a very broad view of needs across the organization and the implications that had on people, process and technology. Strategy because you have to be prepared to provide these new services and solutions. That's not true.

Instead of being an appendage that can be cut when times are tough, L&D can be facilitating the survival and thrival strategies that will keep the organization agile. We’ll also cover strategy. The practical reason is it gives a way for L&D to contribute to the most important part of organizational success.

I gave my eLearning Strategy presentation to the eLearning Division of ASTD’s LA Chapter. Despite some technical hiccups (GoToWebinar doesn’t seem to have a chat feature, nor does it allow Mac users to be presenters, ahem), the presentation went off reasonably well. And now, it’s available online.

Further, since mobile is a platform – a strategy not just a tactic – focusing on fundamentals makes sense. So, for instance, when I ran a mobile course for the Allen Academy, we had a week dedicated to each of these elements (as well as kicking off a mobile mindset and closing on strategy). Of course, I now would.

Yes, there are entailments – governance, strategy, engineering – but the alternative is that lingering legacy content that’s out of date but no one can deal with. This is before there’s even the technology support available to be more proactive, but planning for the possible future is part of the strategy.

Similarly, in my strategy work, I likewise suggest the first step is to put learning science more central in training. If you’re doing something complex, your design strategies may differ from something important. To start with, I generally think of formal learning as the starting point. Here, the order is: Formal Learning.

Which is why I tout LXD Strategy ! There are good prescriptions (that we often ignore, for reasons above) about what to do and how. So, we should follow them. However, we need more. We need to account for complexity in learning design approaches. For one, our design processes need to be iterative.

So there was a post on 5 mobile learning strategies. Love the idea, but hate that it’s presented as part of a mobile strategy instead of a learning strategy. And thinking platform is the key strategy here. But pretending these are core strategies is misleading. And, maybe, a bit fun.

Charles Jennings does as well, personally, but a lot of his work currently is more on design methodologies and corporate strategy. Both have worked with organizations to improve outcomes.

However, strategy will get eaten by culture unless you specifically address and develop a culture where innovation can happen.
