Do you want more strategic people teams?

Learning strategy

If learning is the key skill for the future, we need to be very clear on how we will will help our teams become life-long learners and supercharge our business along the way. Plus, linking your people’s purpose to your organisation’s vision means everyone’s meaning and purpose will be engaged.

Taking time to stop and get clear the capabilities your organisation needs, the skills your people want, best practice learning, and how your learning needs to look and feel to engage your people is the most important thing you can do. I can complete a training needs analysis and strategy for your organisation, or coach you to do it.

strategic consultants

When people come to you, do they ask for training solutions? Instead work with your stakeholders to diagnose the actual performance problem and what behaviour change they need to see.

From this you can design a solution which will meet everyone’s need, as well as the budget’s. You can then measure the success of your solution. This is proving the true value of practical, engaging and results oriented performance and learning. Everyone wins.

learning experience design

Is your team up to date with modern learning design? People learn differently already this year than they did last year - what can we do to engage people in learning?

Anna has decades of experience in learning and instructional design helping organisations get the behaviour and results uptake they need from learning solutions (hint - the answer to your performance problem is probably not only training).

I can run a workshop or coaching learning solution for you in-house, or you can come along to my Brightstar courses - see below for more information.

Future capabilities

What skills will your organisation need for the future? Anna helps you strategise for these.

design thinking, experimentation and agile

Anna is a certified agile team facilitator and loves using design sprints to help you combine the skills you already have with design thinking, lean startup experiments and agile into your teams, projects and work. This makes your learning more customer centred, faster, fun and useful.

change and od coaching

As developing people and culture becomes even more important to our organisational success and bottom line, Anna can coach your teams to understand and apply modern (and classic) Change and Organisational Development (OD) models to drive success.

Anna has been implementing change in learning in leadership for over 20 years and understands that as change is constant, helping people through change is our priority.

Organisational development coaching

Whether you’re new to O.D., or want to refresh your skills, Anna can support you through the landscape of applying great O.D. to your workplace successfully. A lot of Organisational Development is best learnt on the job. And it’s useful to be able to know what practically works, what ‘O.D.-speak’ is, how to make it simple for your organisation, and also easy on you to create and share the right strategies and models for your organisational success.

The benefits of working with Anna are that she can help you to - avoid expensive pitfalls, save time, share useful templates, choose the most important steps which will give you both quick and long term wins, build your O.D. confidence and support you to get buy in from all your stakeholders.

Anna will tailor coaching to exactly what you, your leaders and your organisation need. A typical 10 session engagement includes a selection of 4 - 5 of these key O.D. topics:

1. Setting your O.D. goals and measurements

2. O.D. models which work in your context

3. Communication and getting your senior leaders, and organisation, onboard

4. Leadership development which works

5. Learning best practice

6. Performance Coaching

7. Wellness and Resilience

8. Building teams

9. Organisational culture

10. Employee Experience

Learning Experience Design Workshop

From Instructional Design to Learning Experience Design

Instructional Design (ID) is the systematic development of training to help people learn and improve.

Learning Experience Design (LXD) is a new way of looking at ID, in which you design learning experiences to have a lasting positive impact (both for the learner, and their organisation), so that each person learns what they need to, when they need to, and in the way they need to learn.

Learning Experience Design will show you how to create learning experiences to develop and embed new habits that will inspire and engage your learners, create business impact and help learners transfer their new-found knowledge and skills back into the workplace. Whether you’re a trainer producing your own materials or you want to specialise in Learning Experience Design, you’ll find this course full of practical tips and useful ideas to help you get behavioural change.

Join us to learn how to practically apply Learning Experience design in a human-centred and agile way.  This course is set at an intermediate level where you are encouraged to bring along a project to experiment with.  You will leave with practical steps, and new ideas, to bring your project to life. 

I can run a coaching or facilitated session for you in-house.

This workshop will give you practical tools and ideas to answer the following questions.

• How do we engage stakeholders through the journey – Subject Matter Experts (SMEs), Leaders, Sponsors and Learners?

• How do we design experiences to engage our learners?

• How do I create a storyboard or facilitator guide which tells a story?

• How do we include follow up and behavioural nudges to get long term change?

Deliver great experiences

• How do I choose the right delivery method (from social learning to blended learning and every way in between)?

• How do we prevent information overload, while still getting new ideas and ways of working across?

• How do I use visual elements, writing, emotion and mood to increase the appeal of my learning?

Evaluate learning impact

• How do we select the right evaluation level and tool for each learning intervention?

• How do I plan, get feedback on, and learn from my learning experiments?
