Innovate your program design and delivery

methods

TREND#5


Trend#5Innovateyourprogramdesignanddeliverymethods

Reinforcement to sustain a leader’s learning isn’t a nice to have, it’s a must have• Leaders must understand why achieving the desired

behavior change is important to them• Leaders must know how to master their knowledge

and skills• Leaders must practice what to apply and when to

apply it



Development gets more personal • Balance traditional classroom or e-learning models with

other on-demand resources • Provide a good mix of group and individual components

in your program• Bring some choice to your programs, so leaders can

select activities that work best with their learning style, pace, interests, and goals



Experiential programs and components are on the rise• Leverage more than just the formal methods of

development in your portfolio of leadership options• Provide opportunities both inside and outside of

your organization• Utilize multi-disciplinary and cross-functional

solutions to encourage cohorts to learn from one another

all leadership levels. • Coaching is used most commonly to:

o Identify gaps and blind spotso Build self-awarenesso Increase confidence and resilienceo Strengthen critical leadership skillso Strengthen relationshipso Retain top talent
