Instructional Design PDN: Is Training Always the Solution?

Kick off the 2025 Instructional Design PDN with a program focused on responding to requests for training.  Organizations often turn to training as the go-to solution for what really might be performance issues, poorly defined processes, or lack of motivation.  If your stakeholder expects you to simply say “Yes” to their request and create new training, how can you ascertain if additional instruction truly is the most effective solution?  In this program, we will investigate alternative interventions such as process improvements, job aids, or communication strategies and discuss how to evaluate and respond to training requests with a “Yes, and…” approach.
