The Alternative Leadership approach to learning
Learning interventions are a means to an end - improved performance - and not an end in itself.
The philosophy that drives our learning design
Our approach to learning design is inspired by the work of Roy V. H. Pollock,
Andrew McK. Jefferson & Calhoun W. Wick and their “6 Disciplines of
Breakthrough Learning.”
Begin With Why
Learning interventions need to link-up to business outcomes
Qualify What Can Move the Needle
One size never fits all and training is not always the answer.
The Learning Event Is Not The Finish Line
Learning is a journey – it should be designed as one.
Plan For The Learning Transfer Too
If what is learnt is not applied, the entire intervention is just a tick mark exercise
Aligning Managers is Critical For Learning Transfer
If reporting managers are not aligned to what was taught, learning is doomed
Measuring Impact Drives Accountability
What gets measured, gets done.
The Alternative Leadership learning design process
A typical learning journey explores various facets before creating
a customized development program that helps achieve learning outcomes
aligned to the organization’s business goals.
Preparation Phase
- What do learners already know?
- What is the background of the learners?
- How can we prime learners with the right attitudes and expectations?
Learning Delivery
- Which is the most appropriate learning methodology to use in this context?
- Do learners understand and buy-in to the finish line for the intervention
Learning Transfer
- How do we ensure continuation of learning beyond the learning delivery stage?
- How can we monitor, support and manage the learning transfer process?
Measuring Impact
- What is the best way to ensure workplace application?
- What is the best way to capture and document application of learning?
Impact measurement will depend on what methodologies are incorporated in your learning journey. Based on the data we are able to collect within a given methodology, we can create and share a report with you at the end of the journey. This is an optional service which you can choose to select – please let us know if this is something you require.
Yes, program management is a big part of what we can help you with. It is an optional service that clients can choose to select. Do speak to us about it.
A learning journey could be as short as a month (if done intensively) or as long as 12 months, depending on the scope of what needs to be achieved.
For each workshop, we can help you with a set of 3 different teasers that you can customize and share periodically with participants to build excitement and get traction.
When you get in touch with us, our experienced client advisory team members will guide you through a series of questions which will help arrive at this decision. However, if you believe you have a certain preference, please share with us.
