[event] Demonstrating value, worksheet

So in one week time, I'll be hosting the BUS25 learnshop session at Online Educa Berlin. We will work around the central question on how to demonstrate impact of our learning interventions back at work. (And with work we assume a corporation setting, this session is part of the Business Educa track after all.)

So what will we be doing? It's a three step process, with a small preparation to make things 'real'.

• Step 0 : As an individual preparation, we'll ask participants to list a few of the trainings and other learning programmes and interventions they are involved in and want to demonstrate the impact for. This will make the session 'real', oriented towards own work, and spark great conversations with peers at the tables who face similar challenges.
• Step 1 : State of the art : what are we currently doing? This will be in the form of a short presentation, followed by a table discussion.
• Step 2 : Divergence : get inspired by many alternative ways to demonstrate impact. We'll randomly select models and frameworks and pick what we like and might work for our programmes.
• Step 3 : Convergence : coming up with new ways and ideas to provide evidence of learning impact. We'll work around one of the cases in the tables, and report back out to the full group.

The session itself will also experiment with its own way to steer the workshop towards impactful action. The handout sheet is below. The first box is for searching what to work and indicating your 'mojo' (open brain, closed brain?), the second column is for the lightbulb moments, and the third one is for actions in the short and long term.

Hope to see you there!
