A CLEARER WAY FORWARD
Less guesswork.
More purpose.
A folder full of source material. Different perspectives from your subject-matter experts. A course that keeps growing.
In this session, we’ll step back and ask: what does this training need to help people do? Together, we’ll use a practical example to explore how that question changes the content conversation.
- Connect a business goal to the actions learners need to take.
- Use those actions to make more purposeful content decisions.
- Leave with questions to use in your next discovery conversation.
THE HOUR TOGETHER
A little framing.
A lot of working through it.
Expect a shared example, conversation, and room for your questions.
15 minutes
Start with the work, not the content
Connect the business goal to what people need to do. Use action mapping to give the conversation a clear focus.
25 minutes
Make the decisions together
Work through a practical example. Decide what belongs in training, what needs further discovery, and what can be left out.
10 minutes
Bring it back to your practice
Ask questions and consider how you could use the approach in your next discovery conversation.
