Design Philosophy

1. Affect employee behavior by creating interactive training programs 2. Place learners at risk. Risk keeps learners engaged and challenges them to advance outside of their “complacent

zone.” 3. Place learners in real-life situations by using tools such as case studies, project based learning, or global project

collaboration 4. Build learning objectives into the training content

a. EXAMPLE: “As a sales associate, you have been tasked with developing a web marketing campaign to grow your market segment by 15%. Your objective is to use the 3/9 Model Teaming strategy to leverage the abilities of your 5 person team…”

5. Develop IRR content (Influential, Relevant, & Relatable.

• Influential: Influences employees to modify their behavior

• Relevant: Relevant and useful to the employee and to the company. Everyone wins.

• Relatable: Employees can leverage the new skill or behavior they’ve learned in their training course immediately

Assessment Strategy

1. Create assessments which are tangible and measurable 2. Assess throughout training sessions (formative) and final assessments are given to measure retention and

application (summative) a. EXAMPLE: During trainings, employees are challenged with self-check style questions. This may be

Socratic-style verbal questions or a series of questions built into an eLearning module.

Design Process

1. Meet with the project sponsor (typically the manager) 2. Discuss the project overview and desired outcome. Discuss why the desired outcome is important. Address the

due date & available resources (SMEs, project capital, graphic designers, Flash animators, etc.) 3. Develop storyboard design, review with Sponsor 4. Develop second storyboard (if approved, proceed to prototype development) 5. Develop prototype, 1, 2, 3, etc.

a. Meet with SMEs i. Revise based on feedback ii. Review revisions with project sponsor

b. Repeat 6. Review selected prototypes with Sponsor

a. Receive feedback, make applicable adjustments b. Repeat

7. Test prototype with selected employee population, if possible a. Review results with Sponsor & SMEs

i. Integrate relevant feedback

To Whom It May Concern:

It has been my privilege to employ Miohael Payne as an English instructor at Oxford Tutoring Center. As his manager and mentor, I have had the opportunity to observe Michael's strengths and to participate in his develop­ment as an instruotor and an employee.

At Oxford Tutoring Center, Michael taught students in grades four through twelve in English Language Arts. As all instruction at Oxford is based upon the California Board of Education Content Standards, Michael became adept at planning student lessons that both satisfied state standards and addressed students' real needs. To instruct students in a broad spectrum ofgrade levels, Michael honed key strategies for instructing reading comprehension, word analysis, grammar, composition skills,literature, and criticism. Clearly. his ability to master a wide breadth of material, to synthesize information from muJ'tipJe topics, and to select and evaluate that infonnation for presentation d(:monstrates the intelligence and critical thinking skills that Michael possesses. As such, Michael was a valuable employee of Oxford Tutoring Center.

Of particular importance. Michael was valued for his ability to energize and inspire students. As English teachers well know, instructing students that are challenged by English Language Arts can be difficult at best. However, Michael was partioularly successful with struggling students. Consistently, he achieved significant student improvements by mutually encouraging and chalJenging students to attempt material that may have intimidated them. With each success, Michael's students gained the confidence to approach new, more challenging texts and assignments with the enthusiasm that believing in oneself procures. As a result, students requested Michael as their tutor because he made the process of leaming safe and exciting. By understanding students weaknesses and addressing them patiently and sensitively, Michael made students feel comfortable learning and asking questions. Also, he related to students as individuals. getting to know each student for who he or she was. Clearly, these essential interpersonal skills will enable Michael to be a successful teacher and mentor. He is an inspiring leader from whom students will seek guidance and support.

In summary, I highly recommend Michael Payne as a dependable, intelligent and interpersonally skilled individual. Without reservation, I would encourage any potential employer or manager to consider Michael as a highly quali­fioo. choice.

To Whom It May Concern:

During the past 2 years I have had the pleasure of working with Mr. Michael Payne. Michael is a member of my Academic Counseling team.

Michael is a goal oriented worker that prioritizes his work well. He is an excellent team member but is also able to take on and complete tasks independently_ During our time working together I have learned that Michael is the type of individual that can be depended upon and trusted.

Michael learns new skills quickly. He rapidly mastered our custom software system and trains his coworkers in how to more effectively use these systems. On a personal level he is very positive person and has a contagious enthusiasm for life .

I feel fortunate to have Michael as a member of my team. I am sure he will be successful in whatever field he pursues.

Activity: Teaming Overview 1. EXPLAIN that the first section is brief and covers how

using teaming in the Phoenix office has been effective. Next, advise that the group will discuss their experiences with teaming after watching the video.

2. SHOW the Business Planning 3/9 Model Video (0-1.38 minutes) The presentation shows a slide that introduces Pete Bolton and a quote by Peter Drucker.

3. INFORM your group about Positive and Negative experiences Positive experiences have an outcome that leads to the achievement of the team’s goals.

Negative experiences did not accomplish the team’s goals and are usually associated with the achievement of one person’s goals, or with an uncomfortable problem or situation that needs to be resolved.

Reemphasize that strong teaming means that all members of the team obtained a common goal.

4. ASK your group to give examples of Positive and Negative team experiences which fall into the following categories: “Positive,” “Negative”

5. WRITE the examples on the flip chart. Make sure to separate the examples into two categories labeled “Positive” and “Negative.”

Page 30: Candidate Portfolio

Business Planning 3/9 Model

6 Business Planning 3/9 Model – Leader Guide The Leadership Center

success both financially and personally. Advise that the video will discuss this point more in-depth.

b. INFORM the group that if they had trouble completing the Common Team Goals chart, this could mean that their team has not clear defined their goals or that the participant needs to clarify what his/her team’s goals are.

8. ASK a member of the group to read the section titled “The Point” on page six of the student guide. It reads:

“Groups and teams will always succeed when they have clear communication, common goals, and delegation of responsibilities based on each member’s natural strengths. You will learn more about leveraging each team member’s personal strengths later in the session.”

9. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: Points to Review with the Group

• Effective teaming doesn't mean one person receives all the credit for a job well-done

• Effective teaming means all members of the team receive credit for a successful job

• The adage “Two heads are better than one” holds true in strong teams because a collective whole can always find answers to tough solutions better than one person working independently can.

Activity: Teaming Overview

DIRECTIONS: In the chart below, list the Common Team Goals of the team

you currently work with. Keep in mind that your notes in the chart should reflect

the common team goals as you understand them.

Common Team Goals

The Point: Groups and teams will always succeed when they have clear

communication, common goals, and delegation of responsibilities based on each

member’s natural strengths. You will learn more about leveraging each team

member’s personal strengths later in the session.

Page 52: Candidate Portfolio

The Leadership Center Business Planning 3/9 Model – Participant Workbook 5

Activity: Business Planning

You are capable of creating what you desire; it is all a matter of planning and

focus.

DIRECTIONS: Bring to mind three current business ventures on which you are

working. In the chart below, list what you plan to create in your professional

career. For example, what do you plan to create professionally as a result of

completing each of these transactions? NOTE: The fourth column labeled

“Anything Else?” in the chart is not a required column for use.

What I Plan to Create

Professionally Financially Personally Anything Else?

The Point: Once a person becomes clear on what he or she wants for his or her

life, it is possible to achieve his or her life goals. Without becoming clear on

individual plans, it is difficult to fully contribute as a team player. The chart above

is designed to help you focus your goals both personally and professionally.

Page 53: Candidate Portfolio

The Leadership Center Business Planning 3/9 Model – Participant Workbook 6

Activity: Business Planning

The best way to begin (or continue) your pursuits toward obtaining your goals is to

materialize them on paper. You are capable of creating what you desire; it is all a

matter of planning and focus.

DIRECTIONS: In the chart below, list what you plan to create in your

professional career. Mr. Bolton states that the railroad companies define

themselves as railway companies whereas they should define themselves as

transportation businesses. How do you define your business and your role within

it?

My Current Business

Professionally (Your

Role, a title, etc.)

Financially (Goal,

current standing

etc.)

Personally (Your

Role in your career) Anything Else?

The Point: If a person does not have a clear understanding of what his/her role

is as a professional or a “game plan” of where he/she plans to be in 1, 5, or 20

years, blazing a path to success will be very difficult.

Page 54: Candidate Portfolio

The Leadership Center Business Planning 3/9 Model – Participant Workbook 7

Activity: Business Planning

Now that you have refined your focus for your professional and personal goals,

what can you do differently? What can you do to help you move forward?

DIRECTIONS: In the chart below, list what you plan to do to enhance your

professional career, financial goals, and personally. Mr. Bolton states that the rail

road companies define themselves as railway companies whereas they should

define themselves as transportation businesses. These companies continue to do

the same type of business rather than re-defining themselves and expanding into

new avenues. What can you do to remain “fresh” in your business and your role

within it?

What I can do Differently

Professionally

(Strategies,

professional

development, etc.)

Financially

(Investments,

strategies, etc.)

Personally

(Strategies, personal

development, etc)

Anything Else?

The Point: When people and businesses continue to reenact the same actions

and operate under a stale business model, they achieve the same results

continually. Essentially, they begin to stagnate. Consider what you are doing

everyday in your business and the results you achieve. Are you stagnating?

Session 2: Value Proposition & the Operating Model

Overview

each day. Some professionals call it a “mantra.” To define your value proposition,

answer the question, “What do I have to offer that no one else does?”

DIRECTIONS: Answer the following questions as honestly as possible.
