Dear HR , Training and Learning & Development
Heads,
From my
last article of ROI training - Part 2: Is your organization ready
for ROI Implementation for Training. Now, lets move on to
Part 3.
Times are changing and so must your department. Here
are 3 steps to think about on how to transform your department to keep in touch
with our current times:
Step 1: Rationalize -
This means - streamline, downsize, and simplify what the your department
does. It is necessary because until you have a complete picture of what is
going on in the organization, it is very difficult to change anything in a
logical way. Simply, this phase is when L&D objectively considers all aspects of their organization (assets, processes, technology, methods – all of it) and
determines those that are no longer serving the business.
Step 2: Restructure -
The goal of transformation should not be to significantly add or detract
resources from the department. It’s actually to think
differently about how resources are used.
Step 3: Reinvent - The
previous phases in the transformation process focus mainly on getting things in
order: scrutinizing budgets, content, skills, realigning processes, people, and
technology. Doing these things helps L&D become more efficient, effective,
and aligned with the larger organization. Reinventing your department
means going beyond having solid systems and processes, understanding the
learning architecture, and focusing on continuous learning. It demands L&D to step out of its comfort zone and
experiment and innovate. Experimentation and innovation should become second
nature to L&D professionals.
Until our next sharing on ROIs in trainings, have a great weekend.
