Erin Abuawad, Learning & Development Leader

"Show your thinking, not just your output."

Step 01  ·  Discover
Define the real gap
Every project starts with a performance gap analysis, not assumptions. Discovery before design, always. The wrong solution to the right problem is still a failure.
Step 02  ·  Design
Build for transfer
Backward design from the business outcome. Scaffolded, learner-centered, and built to be used on Tuesday, not just completed and forgotten by Friday.
Step 03  ·  Prove
Measure what moved
Every program includes an evaluation plan tied to a KPI. Training that cannot prove it worked has not finished working. That is where the CLSSBB discipline lives.
