If we’re going to design for impact and then measure the outcome, how do we do this? It starts with what we’re trying to achieve, and then it comes down to applying what we know of learning science to the design of a solution. A performance consulting perspective is useful here.

To have measurable impact requires designing solutions to achieve change. That means we have to go beyond our folk beliefs about learning and look to what the research says leads to effective change. We have good prescriptions, but we too infrequently pay attention to them.

If we assume that the need is identified by analysis, then true impact comes from two things: design and measurement. Once we’ve determined the need, we should know what measure inadequate, and what level is it should be. Then we should design our solutions to change the resulting measurement.
