LDI uses a five-step process to design and develop training:

Needs Assessment - identification of required performance, assessment of current performance (gap analysis), identification of training solutions, identification of non-training solutions

Program Design - development of macro training design document that includes performance based objectives, scope and sequence of content, specification of appropriate methodologies, and analysis of target audience

Course Development - development of training materials that include real-world examples and learning activities that ensure transfer of learning to the job; pilot testing with target audience to verify effectiveness of training

Implementation - planning and administration of training implementation; training of trainers, and delivery of training (where appropriate)

Evaluation - establishment of metrics for measuring training impact; assessment of customer satisfaction and learning outcomes; recommendations for improvement

During the development of customized training, we work closely with customers to clarify their needs and objectives. In every situation, we look for training solutions that meet the needs of the organization and prepare learners to transfer new knowledge to the job. We also consider the technological capabilities and the budget constraints of the customer to choose the most appropriate delivery method.

Delivery Method Audience Content Technology
Instructor-led (traditional classroom) Learning Audience size is small or audience is located in a single or regional sites Content involves development of skills that require practice and feedback Audience does not have access to technology or has limited technological capabilities
e-based Learning (synchronous or asynchronous delivery) Audience size is large and/or located in many different sites Content involves new knowledge or information but requires little/no hands-on practice of skills Audience has easy access to and experience with using technology
Blended Learning Audience size is large and/or located in many different sites Content involves both new knowledge and skills development Audience has easy access to and experience with using technology

Our systematic approach to instructional design results in training that is current, valid, and based on best learning practices. It also ensures that training objectives are achieved, that learning is transferred to the job, and that customers receive the maximum return on their training investment.
