Paper Structure:
·
Start by reviewing who we are and what we
are doing—this will require going back to the project.
o
WHO—Leaders needing T&D
program for staff.
o
WHAT—Collaborating with a
wide variety of stakeholders to accomplish an objective.
o
Our
main problem is to develop a collaborative T&D program for staff learning.
·
Then go through building a collaboration.
o Start
off by having different ideas that follow from the starter questions and writing
them down.
o Make
sure to surface assumptions as you go.
o Discuss
advantages and disadvantages of collaborations.
o
Conduct the Tuckman’s Five Stages of Group Development
exercise.
· Then
go through the construction of the T&D plan.
· Ask, “what would you
do?
o Use the Deeper
Questions
· Concluding
discussion
o
This is an example of how complicated a “real-life”
scenario can be.
· Wrap
Up
o Talk
about the realities of training and development in organizations.
o Trying
to be as accurate as possible in representing challenges for small entities.
Questions that needs to be answered:
Starter Questions
1.
Share a story about a time when
you were collaborating with a fellow student or co-worker. What did you do to
effectively communicate? What similarities does your experience have that allow
you to empathize with the project?
2.
What areas of proficiency might be
required for employees after your training?
Deeper Questions
1.
In your own locale, outline
resources available to managers for training and development.
2.
What steps should be
considered when preparing a T&D plan for staff?
a.
The process could include
ADDIE: The five phases—Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and
Evaluation.
3.
There are resources that you will
outline during the planning stages. What techniques might you (and your team)
incorporate in deciding between multiple options?
Closer Questions
1.
Presenting your plan to upper
management is crucial to move forward with funding and implementation. How will
you present your plan logically and ethically to stakeholders and management?
2.
Developing plans with multiple
stakeholders presents unique challenges. Using Tuckman’s Five Stages of Group
Development, explain how you might manage the group dynamics to achieve your
objectives for your plan.
