If you’ve seen our Learning Solutions Model, you know how we do things. Before we jump into building the learning experience, we seek clarity. We also work with the client to proactively plan and evaluate the utility of the learning. When considering utility, one of the many questions we ask is, “How will we support implementation and drive utilization?”
A few months ago, while on site with a client, we worked to map out a solution architecture for their large learning initiative. As we talked through things, it became evident that a few performance support tools would greatly enrich the overall effectiveness of the curriculum.
