105 Designing Outside-In Learning Solutions

10:45 AM - 11:45 AM Wednesday, October 20

The learning function of most organizations is more important than ever. As learning professionals and managers of this important function, we find ourselves presented with constraints and nearly continual shifts. In the ever-changing landscape of transformation, how do we know where to focus to maximize business outcomes in balance with meeting the ever-changing needs of our learners? Visualizing the complexity and planning for change are critical. The ability to visualize the business and end user's needs using design thinking is a helpful way to manage the complexity and sea of change. The ability to understand the elements of the learning ecosystem, opportunities for innovation, and rapid prototyping are all design patterns that yield successful results for transformation efforts during rapidly moving change.

In this session you will learn a range of models for thinking about "Outside-In" analysis and design. You'll explore these models in combination with visualization techniques using design thinking tools specifically designed for learning organization application. You will be able to apply these tools to increase the value of conversations with both business and end-user stakeholders. You will learn to model the learning ecosystem out to the business and back to the needs of users. You will be able to balance business needs and constraints to deliver impactful outcomes for your learners. Attendees will leave with a new approach for thinking about problems/outcomes and possess the knowledge to apply tools for Outside-In design.

In this session, you will learn:

  • Outside-In design principles             
  • Learning ecosystem and innovation models   
  • User experience models                   
  • Design thinking tools for each model             
  • Tips and tricks for immediate application
