Conversations about change are always challenging, even more so in the current context. However unpopular, change is not optional, and organizations are faced with difficult decisions to make and subsequently communicate and implement. So let’s see how leaders should communicate during times of transformation:
Organizational learning has seen tremendous transformations in a short period of time. This is the reason why adaptive learning no longer seems like a major shift but a natural evolution. Moving forward requires thorough preparation and involvement from various departments across the organization.
With transformation being the number one objective for most businesses, trust is essential. It’s not only a very effective driver of change and innovation, but ialso a requirement for positive employee engagement and loyalty. Building organizational trust takes time, so the sooner it becomes a genuine priority, the better.
Virtual training is no longer a trend but a necessity. Learning is a core function for any business in times of transformation, and it’s imperative for it to be spot-on and effective. Here’s what instructional designers and facilitators need to consider when creating virtual training sessions:

Evaluating corporate learning programs should be more than checking a box on the instructional designer’s to-do list. The results need to be relevant and available for processing to generate better ideas. Instructors need a more accurate image of how a training program is doing. All of this starts with asking better questions.
Innovation is not something you can stop doing; it has to be an ongoing mindset. A silo mentality is not good for business. Let’s see what organizational silos are and how we can overcome them, break the barriers and boost innovation!
Each learning intervention should be precisely on point. There is no better way of achieving that than making it learner-centric. Designing for better outcomes requires a good knowledge of the objectives and the most suitable methods of achieving them.
Corporate L&D is no stranger to transformation. Learning specialists are constantly ready to change gears and navigate turbulent waters. Switching stakeholder mindset from business-oriented to learner-centric is yet another challenge, one that will have tremendously positive results once it is overcome.
Taking a break from the office doesn’t mean taking a break from skill-building. L&D professionals must understand the needs of various workers, identify the competencies needed to be successful, and design training programs that support the development of the required skills.
