Bottom-Line Performance

MAY 11, 2013

My last post was about Agile Learning Design , an iterative model of instructional design that focuses on collaboration and rapid prototyping. The most welcome change is the fact that an Agile model has you sharing your mockups, prototypes, and early suggestions with the client—right off the bat! How we talk about Agile versus ADDIE. Agile (and other iterative models like it) take into account new technologies and more rapidly evolving ideas.

For many learning organizations, the term “AGILE” has become a hot topic. Often, when referred to in a business sense, AGILE strategies tend to focus on more project management or software development areas (such as with achieving continuous improvement, maintaining scope, increasing flexibility, obtaining team inputs, and with delivering high-quality products) than on instructional design strategies. In search of learning agility.

Agile as a way of working and organizing team activities has spread from software development to other aspects of work and business, from sales management to project management and most points in between, including learning and development (L&D). In software development, agile demonstrates its worth by delivering robust software with a sharper focus on customer/end-user needs. Here’s an agile Catch-22, and a rabbit hole that could take this blog to several thousand words.

I now see this feedback as the ultimate compliment, for my manager felt I had learning agility. Learning agility is openness to new information and the ability to gain and apply insights derived from this information. Learning-agile people aren’t perturbed by shifts in direction.

Durability, however, might sometime prove to be a hurdle when it comes to agility. 3 Steps in ensuring business agility. As this study shows , relatively few companies stood out as being especially agile: 58 percent of them had speed scores, stability scores, or both that hovered near average. Since people belonging to the same organization might at some point be biased in a certain view, hiring freelance consultants when big decisions have to be made is highly advisable.

The Consulting industry is constantly changing and shifting in nature, which is why it is essential to implement a successful training strategy for your employees. Unexpected events, such as the Great Recession of 2008 and 2009, can have detrimental impacts on the Consulting industry, whereby firms must be resilient and agile to cope with these shocks. A method of training that provides this opportunity to consulting firms is the practice of microlearning.

For CLOs, it has become a business imperative to develop agility and capability to meet the talent needs of organizations that are rapidly changing in such a turbulent environment. From an employee development perspective, how prepared are CLOs to demonstrate the agility to lead the change in culture, programs, processes and policies that were originally designed for full-time employees to an expanded talent portfolio increasingly represented by contingent workers?

As the rise of the agile workforce continues, terms like temp, consultant or freelancer will continue to blur along with it. After all, almost half of companies are committed to building an agile workforce model, according to a December 2016 report from staffing firm Randstad. Chief Learning Officer : More companies are on board with building an agile workforce than five years ago. Many misconceptions about agile employment are beginning to fade as well.
