5 October Building Action into the Decision (...hope...)

[Paul Terlemezian]

Making a decision is the "easy" part. Committing to and completing the actions that produce the desired results that were the reason for the decision is the "hard" part. Drucker offers four questions to help us convert decisions into action:

 

1. Who has to know of the decision?

2. What action has to be taken?

3. Who is to take it?

4. What does the action have to be so that the people who have to do it can do it?

 

Deciding on which format to produce the learning is the "easy" decision.

 

Engaging the learners to produce the desired results from the training is the "hard" part.

 

What would happen if we produced the learning in a manner that the learner has proven to us is the way that they are committed to learn and get results?

 

Is it possible that different learners prefer to learn the same topic for the same job in different ways?

 

What would it take for us to make training decisions based on the results of the training vs. the cost to produce the training?
