What is Learning Workflow? With Paul Matthews


Listen Later

In this episode, Paul Matthews explains how a workflow approach to people development can link learning to the work itself and make a demonstrable difference to the way the work is done.

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • Learning workflow is not the same as learning in the flow or blended learning.
  • Learning workflow is a sequence of orchestrated activities that are designed to achieve a behavioral change.
  • Behavioral Needs Analysis (BNA) and measurable results are essential components of the learning workflow.
  • Starting with an LMA OR TMA will send you down the wrong path, Paul explains why.
  • Working out how to reduce the friction that is stopping change is also part of the process.
  • The learning workflow approach can be very effective for people who are taking on new roles internally and for onboarding.
  • A multi-rater tool used alongside measuring key KPIs is the most effective way to assess progress.

BEST MOMENTS

'Usually, it takes, time, effort, and energy over a period of time for change to embed and become habitual.'

'If you don’t have a set of outputs defined in behavioral terms you actually don´t know where you are going.'

'Learning workflow is particularly good where behavior change is required, rather than when you only want people to memorize stuff.  '

'Wherever you have the need for people to do a sequence of actions over time…you can use learning workflow. '
