Greetings from the CEO:

Celebrating Our Talented Team!

Last week, eLearningDOC hosted its first quarterly review meeting of the year. It was a valuable opportunity for our members to converge and collaborate as a community of learning professionals. Our team encompasses a diverse spectrum of talent and perspectives, and it was wonderful to participate in the discussions about the work we do and how we do it!
 
On the heels of our meeting, Friday was the global observance of International Women's Day, prompting reflections on women's remarkable contributions worldwide. Reading the stories circulating on the internet highlighting women's achievements and the strides companies are taking to support women in realizing their full potential, I feel an enhanced sense of pride in being associated with a company owned and operated by women. 

We hope you enjoy this month's newsletter featuring some first quarter high points we'd like to share with you.

Best Regards,

Angela

Increasing the Margins: Using Instructional Design to Increase Performance

“Numbers don’t lie.” There’s a reason that expression has become a cliché. Numbers are everywhere in our data-driven world: steps in a day, minutes viewed, miles per gallon (or per charge), impressions, margins, etc. Numbers are information, and seeing numbers you don’t like gives you a place to start improving. No one wants to see high turnover, expensive fines, or low ratings, but those are the data points that drive our daily interactions. Do you purchase the 1.2-star item or find one that is at least 4.5? Do you pick the fastest shipping time? What about the lowest cost?

High-quality instructional design can improve performance results. Organizations of all sizes, regardless of industry, need instructional design.

Data also drives organizations. Test scores, safety incident reports, employee turnover rate, profit margins, satisfaction ratings, and performance reviews provide valuable information that helps to guide the decision-making process. All these decisions impact other things. Test scores determine how much funding schools get and affect home prices. Performance reviews shape retention and promotion decisions; they also guide company culture.

These data points are another commonality: high-quality instructional design can improve them. Organizations of all sizes, regardless of industry, need instructional design.
