Handshaw, a business learning professional, speaker on instructional design and performance improvement, and consultant, outlines an approach to designing business training instruction that combines instructional design with performance consulting and is meant to deliver results. It connects training and non-training goals to strategic business goals by combining the ADDIE (analyze, design, develop, implement, and evaluate) model with measurement and performance consulting. The approach can be modified based on specific situations, and he demonstrates how to determine which steps should be used and what resources should be spent on them using the cost-vs.-risk rule and outlines each phase of the model, as well as how to manage the change associated with adopting the model. He explains the principles of proactive performance consulting; closing the performance gap; gap and learning analysis; connecting objectives to measurement; blueprint meetings; validating strategies with a prototype; designing for the classroom, e-learning, and performance support and mobile learning; validating success with a field test; implementation; and making results sustainable.
