Learnings
Last quarter, Harrison attended an AMA training on instructional design. Among other things, he learned a useful tool to estimate and budget design time required for any specific project.
1. AMA equation for instructional design time to session length.
According to the American Management Association, you should budget the following amount of time for instructional design:
40 hours of design for each hour of delivery (for new training)
25 hours of design for each hour of delivery (if updating existing materials)
15 hours of design for each hour of delivery (if making minor adjustments)
In addition, last quarter brought the onset of transitioning Capacitype from a single application to a suite of services. To accomplish this, we needed to evaluate the viability of moving forward with known technology systems against the benefits of “re-tooling” with alternative solutions. Looking back on the process to this point, there are a few couple of lessons emerging.
2. Sometimes the best map is walking.
Both Chris C. and Jason have been completely enmeshed in developing projects with Drupal for years. In many ways it had become the golden hammer for solving complex issues, but it was apparent to us that a different direction would yield better results for the broad objectives of Capacitype. With numerous options in front of us and only past experiences and slight familiarity of the new on our side, it has been the old fashioned process of trial and error that has revealed the path forward. Having the freedom to “play” opened up possibilities and allowed us to make more informed decisions in planning the multiple projects ahead of us—walking laid the map.
3. Stability requires the freedom to change.
The vision presented for Capacitype is an established and stable platform providing data access for multiple efforts. This means having a reliable set of rules governing access and use of our resources for multiple known and unknown stakeholders. As we know from all of our work, standard procedures require a significant effort to establish as standard, and often by the time we have achieved embrace there are new things to be aware of.
In the world of technology solutions it seems like this change happens in days rather than months. So what we strive for is selecting an appropriately flexible toolset that allows the delivery of a finished product that is ready to adapt on day one.
Another learning came from the RSM Alliance Leadership Conference.
4. We can successfully kickoff team-based competitions and have teams form the day prior to the main event.
At the RSM Alliance Leadership Conference, the Innovation Challenge began with team formation during a reception the night before. This was an especially helpful way to offer structured networking at the welcome reception and worked smoothly for the challenge itself.
And finally, Kate shared the following learning from her work with IMC.
5. Great mentors/managers build rapport, set expectations, align their style to their mentees', provide timely constructive and positive feedback.
