Dairy Queen, like many organizations, experiences challenges in knowledge retention following formal training. Dairy Queen needed a strategy that would equip learners with tools and resources to help boost learning retention of role-specific knowledge and skills throughout all learning stages. What Dairy Queen required was a rapid development process to create role-based learning tools to remedy these challenges and address real-time training needs of thousands of Dairy Queen franchisee employees.

In this case-study session, you will learn how Dairy Queen defined and implemented a strategy for scoping projects using rapid design and development techniques to create on-demand, role-based microlearning, simulations, and other video-based learning tools. Learn how this framework enabled business owners to articulate specific training needs within a limited scope and timeline. Additionally, you will learn about a mechanism for business owners to select from an assortment of pre-defined themes and design elements for the project. Within this framework, designers and developers are able to efficiently gather necessary project requirements, design elements, functional components, and content required to rapidly produce the final deliverable.

• How to create a framework that will meet strategic and budgetary objectives while building and expanding your training library
