Part 1: Project Scope

This will be an online module to teach management-related skills to folks who have recently been promoted to a management or leadership role. I intend to develop an interactive e-learning on this topic.

Part 2: Background

• Gap: There are often employees promoted to management due to the amount of years at the company or knowledge of the company, and not promoted due to leadership or management-related skills. This module will address this performance gap and help learners feel empowered in their new roles to approach it with confidence.
• Audience:  New managers
• Training Goal:
  • Learners will be able to identify their own strengths and areas for improvement when it comes to management roles
  • Learners will be able to recognize good leadership and management practices
  • Learners will be able to implement skills learned during training with practice opportunities
• Main Assessment: This will be measured by an assessment completed by direct reports, where they will communicate whether or not their manager has utilized skills from the e-learning

Part 3: Design Approach

• Format/Structure: There will be interactivity throughout the module – with short assessments, opportunities to submit practice skills for review, and more.
• Possible Technology: Articulate 360

Part 4: Implementation

• Context (where, when, how): This will be implemented once employees have been promoted to management, immediately. This could also be used for managers who are hired directly into the organization.
• Org Considerations: Cost, time, and SME involvement. SMEs will need to be active participants, so it will be key to find great representatives of management at the company.
