Consulting Model: D.E.S.I.G.N.
The D.E.S.I.G.N. consulting model provides a structured and systematic approach to help organizations assess their L&D needs, develop effective strategies, implement tailored solutions, and nurture a culture of continuous learning. By following this model, organizations can enhance their L&D capabilities, drive employee development, and achieve their business objectives.
1. DISCOVER
During the Discover phase, consulting team conducts in-depth needs assessments, engages with key stakeholders, and analyzes existing L&D data to gain a comprehensive understanding of the organization's learning requirements and challenges. This phase sets the foundation for an evidence-based approach, enabling us to identify performance gaps, and uncover opportunities for improvement.
4. IMPLEMENT
Once the L&D strategy is developed, the consultant supports the client in implementing the proposed initiatives. This involves designing and developing learning programs, selecting suitable delivery methods, integrating technology solutions, and facilitating the rollout of the L&D interventions. The implementation phase focuses on creating engaging and effective learning experiences for the organization's employees.
2. EVALUATE
A thorough analysis of the current L&D initiatives, processes, and infrastructure within the organization. We assess the effectiveness and efficiency of existing learning programs, evaluate the alignment with organizational goals, and review the utilization of resources. Through comprehensive evaluations and data analysis, we identify areas of improvement, strengths to leverage, and potential barriers to overcome, laying the groundwork for data-driven recommendations and solutions.
5. GUIDE
The consultant plays a crucial role in guiding the client throughout the L&D journey. This includes providing ongoing support, offering expertise and guidance, and helping overcome challenges that may arise during implementation. The consultant acts as a trusted advisor, providing recommendations, resources, and best practices to ensure the success of the L&D initiatives.
3. STRATEGIZE
The team works closely with the client to develop a comprehensive L&D strategy aligned with the organization's business goals and objectives. This includes defining clear learning objectives, determining target audiences, designing appropriate learning interventions, and outlining implementation plans. The strategizing phase ensures that the L&D initiatives are purposeful, measurable, and relevant to the organization's needs.
6. NURTURE
The final phase of the consulting model, the consultant works with the client to establish feedback mechanisms, evaluation processes, and performance metrics to monitor the effectiveness of the L&D initiatives. Additionally, the consultant provides guidance on how to sustain and evolve the L&D efforts over time, fostering a learning culture that drives long-term success.
