We are often brought in late into the process. I think the LCD model will elevate learning departments in organization. Bringing that professionalism and more strategic thinking is really valuable.
“I have been reading the book (Designing for Modern Learning) over the past month and meeting with my team each week to discuss the chapters. Joining the LCD Fundamentals course allowed for many “lightbulb” moments and the terminology I first heard about in the book is now becoming far more familiar to me.
Being able to practice on a cluster was very beneficial for me! The model makes so much more sense to me now and I am excited to put it into practice within my company!”
“The LCD model reminds me why I got into the business in the first place.”
“With the LCD Model, everyone would be happy at their job. You would have low turnover, high morale, people excited about learning because they will feel like people care about them as individuals.”
“I think if everyone was trained on the LCD model, I think in the world of L&D it would completely revolutionize it, because we are trained to think very linearly from point a to point b and that everyone needs the same thing, but the reality is that we live in a very creative and diverse world. The beauty of the LCD model is that it meets you where you are and takes you on a journey to get where you need to go at the end.”
