Training Program Implementation Kit
Training Program Implementation Kit
Your training program must be designed with the learner in mind for it to change behaviors and enhance performance. But without a well-thought-out implementation plan, even the best learning experiences fail to meet expectations. We developed this training program implementation kit to help you tackle even the toughest training implementation.
In this kit, you’ll find simplified versions of the tools we use to help clients plan the implementation of their training initiatives. When used together, these tools help get project owners and stakeholders on the same page and reveal how prepared for implementation the organization really is.

What is the Training Program Implementation Kit?
Our Training Program Implementation Kit will help you think through your entire implementation strategy to ensure the success of your training. The kit includes the following:
Implementation Readiness Assessment: Use this assessment to confirm whether a change is really needed at all, clarify stakeholder goals, and reveal any unintended consequences change could bring.
Strategy Development Worksheet: Focus your planning efforts with this worksheet by creating a clear and compelling description of the effort, the business outcomes that should result, and how these outcomes will be measured.
Risk Analysis Worksheet: This worksheet will help you think about the barriers that could prevent your training initiative from succeeding.
Change Management Planning Worksheet: Identify any resistance you might face when implementing your new initiative and discover ways to minimize it so that the transition is as smooth as possible.
Communication Planning Worksheet: Create a variety of different messages to engage your target audience.
Implementation Planning Worksheet: Consolidate the information from all the other worksheets into an implementation plan that includes defined activities.

Learning Solution Scorecard
Learning Solution Scorecard
The definition of a successful learning solution can be subjective. That’s why we created our Learning Solution Scorecard. We introduce it to clients at the beginning of every project to coach them on what factors will make their training succeed. We use it at the end of projects to measure their success. And we use the scorecard during a project to make sure we’re headed in the right direction.

What is the Learning Solution Scorecard?
There isn’t a consistent rubric to measure learning solutions against each other to see which ones are the best. Award programs like Brandon Hall and CLO help with this to some extent, but unless you plan to submit every learning solution you create for an award, benchmarking is tough.
By scoring learning solutions across four categories, we are able to assess whether they are Performance Accelerating, Performance Promoting or Performance Demoting.

Product Launch Training Template
Product Launch Training Template
Ready to launch a new product? For sales reps to be successful, you need a plan before and after the launch meeting that teaches and reinforces key knowledge and skills. Our Product Launch Training Template will help you identify learning objectives and plan a training curriculum from start to finish.

What is the Product Launch Training Template?
It takes more than a well-planned launch meeting to prepare sales reps to sell a new product. You will need a curriculum of learning solutions designed to teach and reinforce key knowledge and skills. To design an effective product launch curriculum, you’ll need to identify what sales reps need to learn and when to introduce each learning objective in the curriculum. You will also need to decide how and when to reinforce this knowledge. This worksheet will help you practice structuring a product launch curriculum.

Task Analysis Worksheet
Task Analysis Worksheet
Even when we establish clear goals, we often fail to reach those goals. Why? Too much emphasis on the end result and too little emphasis on the process. That’s why a task analysis is a crucial part of the training needs analysis process. Use this task analysis worksheet to identify what learners need to do or know to meet your instructional goal… and the complexity and importance of each of the tasks.

What is the Task Analysis Worksheet?
If you’re releasing a new product or implementing a new system, your learners need to know all of the steps involved in using it. If you have an existing system that learners are currently not using properly, you must observe how they are currently using the system while also identifying the desired process, step by step.
We often identify these processes with our clients by performing a task analysis… and we are making the worksheet we use available as a free download to help you get started on a task analysis of your own.

What is the Template for Planning Your Training?
The training programs of yesteryear were pretty simple: host a class, make people attend, and expect them to do their jobs well afterwards. eLearning came along and the model stayed the same, except we expected people to learn what they needed from sitting at a computer instead.
Corporate learning is not about hosting training or delivering eLearning just because. It’s about changing behaviors and improving performance. To do that, you need to have a plan. You need strategies for what happens before, during, and after the training.
To get you started, we’ve created a simple template for planning your training program.

What is the Training Needs Analysis Worksheet?
A soundly conducted needs analysis should always be the first step when you need to improve performance or change behaviors. Regardless of the type of learning solution you plan to create, taking the time to properly assess the situation and gather appropriate information will go a long way towards assuring the success of a new project.
We have created a 10-question Needs Analysis Worksheet you can fill out and use as a starting point for new project. Use the prompts on this worksheet to help you through the five steps of the Training Needs Analysis process. Be prepared to revise your answers as new information emerges.

What is the Self Assessment for Your eLearning Program?
We’ve developed a simple self evaluation to help you look at your own eLearning program objectively. After nearly 20 years in the instructional design field, we’ve seen a broad spectrum of training programs, effective and not so effective. Through the hundreds of projects we’ve worked on with our clients, our own best practices have emerged in eight key areas.
The self assessment worksheet will allow you to score your training program in these key areas and see where you stand. If your approach to eLearning and instructional design is exceptional, you probably already know it… but this assessment will provide some additional validation. If you have one or two areas (lots of corporate speak? content overload?) that need improvement, the self assessment will help you identify what to focus on first.
