  Generating New L&D Approaches with Design Thinking

  ATD Capability Model: 
  

  Personal: Emotional Intelligence & Decision Making

  Professional: Instructional Design
  

  Description:
  

  The modern workforce is unique; people have endless options for learning in the ways that best meet their needs. Yet many of the design and development models in L&D are decades old. In addition, we now know that one learning intervention is insufficient to build the skills and competence that will create real change in workplace performance.

  Design Thinking is a mindset, a toolset, and a process that helps learning designers generate new approaches to performance issues. And it’s also fun!

  During this session, we’ll explore:
  
  • A quick approach to the Design Thinking model
  • How to gain new perspectives
  • How to adapt the model to your situation
  • Techniques for developing empathy, identifying and reframing problems, and generating creative ideas

  Join Connie Malamed (known for The eLearning Coach website and podcast, and more) as she discusses a quick approach to the Design Thinking model. You’ll come away with techniques for developing empathy, identifying and reframing problems, and generating creative ideas for L&D solutions.
