• Analyzing learning needs before the program even starts has become a step in the learning
process for most organizations—professional or educational.
• It’s important for trainers or teachers to understand what the cohort needs, their skills and
abilities and their weaknesses. This knowledge is what helps them curate and establish different
training models.
• Instructional design includes every step that’s part of creating a learning or training model for
different cohorts. From assessing learner strengths and improvement areas to their attitudes and
personalities toward the material, instructional design is an all-encompassing discipline.
• The purpose of instructional design is to streamline and simplify the learning process.
• It helps learners retain more information, participate willingly and give them a memorable
experience.
Current trends in training and development

• The corporate marketplace is quickly changing, and businesses must be flexible

and easily adapt to change.
• Technology is one of the key drivers in this rapid change, with automation and
artificial intelligence (AI) in the forefront.
• Here are four key trends impacting how organizations must rethink training and
development:
Remote mobile training
• Today’s corporations have discovered that it’s no longer just about what
employees need to know, but also when, where and how the development
experience enables performance.
• With the advancements in mobile technology ,companies are relying more
on mobile workforces.
• Training is migrating to mobile devices where apps provide “just-in-time”
information and recommendations to workers across industries.
AI training
• AI systems can process unstructured information in a similar way to humans.
• These systems understand language patterns and sensory inputs including text, pictures and
auditory cues.
• AI-based software can customize how training content is delivered to a learner, based on their
learning style, suggest content based on a learner’s past performance and predict what
information is most important for them to learn next.
• Agile learning
• Agile learning is a process that encourages employees to learn by doing and iterate often, inspiring
organizational change and buy-in. For example, IBM has introduced IBM Garage, a tool for
executing, scaling and managing an organization’s multiple transformation initiatives.
• Companies like Ford Motor Company and Travelport are using IBM Garages around the world to
create cultures of open collaboration and continuous learning.
Remote flexible learning models
• While distance learning has been around for a long time, the COVID-19 pandemic has
underscored the need for companies to have resilient, flexible, mobile workforce management.
• Organizations have learned that remote workforces need to be productive, engaged, and
continually working towards learning and improvement.
