#5. Designing Programs for Immediate Impact

Send to Kindle

Organizations and individuals want to see results today and not a day later.  In a fast paced world, very few can afford to systematically and methodically build the knowledge base and competencies to deliver results.

To enable immediate impact, Programs will be designed as follows:

  • Clearly identify and define the problem or opportunity being addressed.
  • Define the audience for the Program.  The audience must either have the pre-requisites before beginning the Program or acquire it during the Program.
  • Provide tools, techniques and frameworks that can be applied right away to the real life problems and opportunities.
  • Keep it simple, provide the minimum required information and not overwhelm the audience with every single topic related a concept.
  • Provide a way to measure progress and uncover areas of improvement in participants.
  • Provide a way for participants to continue learning after the Program is over.

There is a business aspect to designing and delivering Programs.  Therefore, we will invest only in Programs that have a demand and there is a positive ROI.  We will avoid Programs that ‘sound cool’.

Paradoxically, getting results quickly requires change and we all know resistance to change can be a real barrier to progress.  Therefore, the Programs will provide tools and facilitate change in addition to teaching the ‘what’ and ‘how to’.
