Instructional designers and training managers sometimes ask me, “How do I train SMEs to write better branching scenarios?” While I understand the perspective of the folks asking that, I think it’s the wrong question. I believe SMEs shouldn’t write branching scenarios. Instead, I think we as instructional designers and LXDs should interview the SMEs as part of our analysis, and then we should write it.

The world of work is changing rapidly, exposing critical skill gaps across industries. Business and HR leaders are feeling the pressure to upskill employees—but many don’t know where to begin. The best place to start is with a clear, organization-wide view of existing skills. Tools like assessments and competency management software provide that visibility, helping you identify gaps and opportunities across teams and individuals.

In conversations, I’ve begun to suspect that one of the biggest, if not the biggest, problem facing designers wishing to do truly good, deep, design, is client expectations. That is, a belief that if we’re provided with the appropriate information, we can crank out a solution. Why, don’t you just distribute the information across the screen and add a quiz?

There’s been a growing chorus that L&D should think more like marketing, and that we should borrow principles and approaches from there. This is not surprising. The similarities are all too obvious: L&D and marketing are both trying to change behavior. But beyond this basic realization, we’d do well to understand the fundamental parallels and differences between the two: Marketing is all about persuasion + education.

Ice breaker questions – some of us love them, the rest of us loathe them. They typically bear no relevance to the topic at hand, and if it’s even mildly personal, I’m too busy scrambling for something interesting to say instead of listening to what my colleagues are saying. But I can see why trainers use them: they metaphorically break the ice.

The ‘nos’ are things that commonly are seen in ineffective scenarios, or that can hinder successful implementation. Ensuring that these mistakes are avoided is one of the success factors to ensure the best outcomes. Some are things that are put in and shouldn’t be, and others are things that people forget to include, but should be.

Way back in the pre-pandemic era, I proposed a solution to fix our senseless compliance training – or to be more accurate, its management – yet it remains broken. The central premise of my argument was that it’s inefficient to repeat the same mandatory training when you change jobs within the same regulatory framework, so a centralised system to recognise your prior learning could save your new employer and the broader economy some serious coin.
