Your go-to company
to create your learning experiences
At Pivot Learning Solutions I am your go-to company to create your learning experiences that align with your business goals and strategies.
Theory-based and classic instructional design modalities
I utilize theory-based and classic instructional design modalities that help to ensure a meaningful and dynamic learning experience.
I partner with my clients to develop a process that improves the efficiencies in design and development but most importantly – the outcome.
With so many innovative ways to train and learn, what is the best approach to meet your training goals for multiple learners?
I base many of my design activities on the ADDIE, SAM, and AGILE models.
Classical instructional design
While I rely on classical instructional design, I also utilize a variety of designing and delivery solutions. Some examples are:
- Delivery of engaging and professional, small group and/or classroom training
- Design effective blended training solutions which are job-based, learner-centered, organized, accurate, practical, and sustainable
- Develop a robust and sustainable blended training curriculum
Classical instructional design
While we rely on classical instructional design, we also utilize a variety of designing and delivery solutions. Some examples are:
- Delivery of engaging and professional, small group and/or classroom training
- Design effective blended training solutions which are job-based, learner-centered, organized, accurate, practical, and sustainable
- Develop a robust and sustainable blended training curriculum
Develop programs like digital eBooks, eLearning modules, self-directed modules, classroom materials (participant guide, facilitator guide, presentations, etc.) and coaching tools
This process makes sure that the training need is clearly defined, the courses are well designed, there are quality materials that can be used during and after training and the appropriate strategies are applied for effective knowledge transfer.
The Process
Pivot Learning Solutions utilizes the process below to help develop a robust learning experience.
Needs Analysis
Training may not always be the issue. Training does not solve all performance problems. A training need assessment is a process of identifying performance-based problems and articulating those problems that can be addressed through training. This type of assessment will determine the performance gap that must be improved to increase productivity, response time, customer satisfaction, etc. A training needs assessment will also evaluate your current training status to see if it is relevant FOR TODAY’S NEEDS as well as establish a direction for future training endeavors.
A needs assessment is most important so that the right solution is determined for the problem at hand.
Audience Analysis
Designing and building a training program is not so easy when not everyone learns in the same way. You must take into consideration the learners – who will be receiving this training and what way do they learn best.
Understanding your learners means gathering data through surveys/interviews, feedback from with SMEs, questionnaires, observing, etc.

Task Analysis
Training is only relevant if the audience can apply it to their jobs. It must be task-oriented and focused on improving actual on-the-job performance. Task analysis will help define the training’s performance objectives for the audience.
Delivery Method Analysis
What is the best approach to training? Instructor-led, web-based, eLearning, self-study? This analysis will determine what the best style(s) of training is for the target audience. Pivot Learning Solutions believes in a blended learning approach, which uses a variety of teaching and learning techniques. People learn in all different ways so by reaching out to all types of learners your training will be most effective.
Project Management
Good communication and organization equal positive, successful results. Pivot Learning Solutions feels the best practice for project management is to set clear project deliverables that have set milestones along the path to project completion.
Design
A builder would never start building without a blueprint from the architect. The same goes for content development! The course design comes from the analyses, especially task analysis. Using the performance objectives uncovered from the task analysis, content developers create a whiteboard for the course. This is a preliminary plan for all lessons and modules with their associated performance objectives and activities. There is also the proposed method of evaluation for the course.
The course design is reviewed by the Project manager(s) and SMEs before the course development occurs.
Development
Full development begins only after the client has approved the course design – outline, performance objectives, activities, and evaluation. Each lesson will contain the objectives, activities, evaluation, and feedback. Instructional designers use the blueprint, “course design” to build the content for each lesson. It is the trainer’s job to bring the objectives, content, and activities to life with motivation, articulation, and excitement.
After the development process is complete, it is the job of the SMEs to conduct a thorough review of all the content. This helps to ensure the content is technically accurate. It is at this stage that I deliver the education and training plan to the trainer.
