Starting a Learning Design Team
It may not be as easy as pressing a button, but with enough research and planning, your organization can build a learning design team. You will need to define its purpose and understand the roles that are required for such a team. Ideally, you will consult with a knowledgeable professional to ensure you hire or develop people with the vision and skills needed to fulfill the roles I describe below.
The Vision
Why is a vision for going boldly into the future important? Your learning and development team will need to meet the challenges of the cultural and technological changes that keep coming. As leaders recognize that their organizations are nothing without talented people, your learning and development team should elevate in importance. This is the group that can help organizations develop an employee-centered culture. A culture where learning and training are individualized and encourages both collaborative and self-directed learning.
