The Pursuing Performance Blog: Project Planning and Management of ISD and HPT Efforts

My 30 years in the training/learning biz have focused less on the ever evolving technology that certainly critically impacts analysis, design, development, deployment/access and maintenance - but has been focused more on two other areas:

1- analysis of the organization and its processes to derive the "Learning Requirements" from the "Performance requirements" - some of which are unique and some of which could be shared, and...

2- design of the configuration of instructional and informational content, to increase sharing as is or after modification for performance improvement and administration costs reduction.

And I continue to learn/explore the use of the ever evolving technology of Web 2.0 and beyond as it applies to those 2 areas of ISD/ID/Learning/Knowledge Management...but seeing "Technology for Learning for Performance" always with an eye on total ROI, RONA, EVA, etc. - understanding exactly what the requirements are of the various stakeholders - beyond just the learner/Performer.

Not for the sake of Technology. Not for the sake of Learning. Not even for the sake of Performance Improvement.

But definetly "for the sake" of meeting/exceeding the "balance of stakeholder requirements" including ROI - the balanced requirements of your stakeholders representing:

- Government, Owners/Shareholders, Executive Management, Middle Management, Customers, Employees, Suppliers, Communities, and a few or many others - as situationally unique to your situation.
