Don’t Subtract the ADDIE

All HR professionals should know about the ADDIE model - particularly those involved with employee training and development. ADDIE stands for:

• Analysis/Assessment
• Design
• Development
• Implementation
• Evaluation

The ADDIE model is integral to instructional design. Here are some questions to ask under each of the ADDIE headings:

Analysis/ Assessment

• Why is the training initiative being considered?
• What level of subject matter knowledge and skill do employees possess?
• What level do they need?
• What and where are the performance gaps?
• Where, when, and how should the gaps be addressed?

Design

• What are the outcome objective?
• What are the learning methodologies to be used?
• What is the time frame?
• Who needs to sign off on the final product?

Development

• Who are the subject matter experts and will they contribute?
• Who will ensure the integrity of the instructional design?
• What elements need to be developed (instructor guide? handouts? print? etc.)

Implementation

• Who will do the training?
• Who will train the trainers?
• What is the likely resistance to the training and how will it be overcome?
• What support staff and resources do we need to schedule and organize the training?

Evaluation

• What metrics will be tracked and how do they relate to the learning objectives?
• Who will track them and where will they be stored (do you need a learning management system?)
• Who needs to see the evaluation?
• What decisions will be made on the basis of the evaluation?

If all this seems like a lot of work — it is! If you are to spend a lot of time and money on training it does not pay to subtract the ADDIE!

Re: Who hates cold calling? - I saw this and had to chime in. I HATE COLD CALLS. lol its terrible and a wast of my time. Something i have done is gotten online and found all the networking event happening in my area for the next 2 months and i try and go to about 3 a week. Even just for an hour. Dont bring any business cards. Just meet new people ask them alot about what they do, not too much about what i do and follow up the next day or 2. Has worked well
