How a High Performance Learning Journey can Transform your Training.

As trainers, we have all been there. Client needs understood, workshop designed and delivered and the wait begins;for the behavioral change to happen and results to be appreciated. Research has shown that for lasting and effective change to happen, the intervention has to follow the path as shown below:

1. Establishing a clear linkage between business outcomes and learning objectives.
2. Bringing all the relevant stakeholders on board and committed. This includes not only the intended participants but also their line managers.
3. A clear identification of not only the opportunities that lie ahead but also the barriers to performance improvement.
4. The intervention itself has to create a safe space for participants to try out new behaviour and practice the new skills without fear of judgement.
5. An opportunity for participants to get feedback at every step of the way both from the trainer/coach as well as from their supervisors and stakeholders.
6. Relevant and topical content is delivered in the most effective format.
7. Finally, the intervention has to move away from being event based to being a journey that allows for repetitive behavior application and opportunities for continuous development, beyond the framework of the program itself.

In effect, what we have seen above are the components of a High Performance Learning Journey (HPLJ). When done properly, a HPLJ can transform your training/coaching intervention into a holistic skills and behavioural transition journey that ties your learning objectives firmly to business outcomes. So, what are the benefits of deploying a HPLJ for an organization?

• A clear vision and path from current state to desired state that takes into account ground realities, desired outcomes, business rationale for the outcomes, opportunities to be exploited and challenges to be overcome.
• An unambiguous commitment from both the learner as well as their supervisor to the journey as well as subsequent continuous development.
• A clear line of sight to the progress being made by the learner that is accessible to all the relevant stakeholders and coaches with milestones achieved along the way.
• Blended learning content interspersed with activities, projects and tasks that cement learning and prompt changes in habits and behaviour.
• An ability to give feedback on a continuous basis to the learner that allows for mid-course correction besides keeping the learner invested in the journey.
• Learning that reaches the learner, no matter where they may be through a mobile enabled platform that is always available.
• Learning that stretches beyond the HPLJ and becomes habit forming and leads to continuous development over a long period of time.
