Organizations are changing at a very high speed. This change requires them to acquire new knowledge and competence at the same speed; otherwise, it will lead to the emergence of huge knowledge gaps. Research has proved that the formal way of learning is not closing the knowledge gaps anymore. Organizations need to find alternatives and one such alternative is Performance Support Solutions. Performance Support Solutions are used to continually reinforce the knowledge for better retention and just-in-time support to perform better.
In this Presentations the attendees will learn:
- How knowledge gaps can creep into an organization and what are their impacts.
- Why there is a need for change in learning and knowledge management.
- About the concept of Performance Support Solutions.
- About Philips Cue Cards, an award winning solution developed by Philips Lighting and G-Cube.
- About the solutions implemented at Philips Lighting, through real life examples and success stories.

4. This Is A Strategy Session
In order to develop a winning strategy,
we must know our purpose
5. Our Purpose:
Provide the best education our
institution can sustain
• Not only sustainable, because we are not
exclusively a business
• Not only the best education, because no
school means no education
7. Two Drivers
• Quality of Education
• Sustainability of Institution
A winning strategy must
balance these drivers
8. This Moment is an
unprecedented convergence of
educational and economic drivers
9. Where Education Is and Is Not Going
• The Principal’s Dilemma – Teaching or Tech?
• Alison King – The transition from Sage on the
Stage to Guide by the Side
• Why this presentation is Sage on the Stage
• Our greatest but most essential Professional
Development challenge ever … but it can be
less work intensive than differentiation
10. The Most Affordable –
100% Machine Learning
• Pros:
– No brick-and-mortar costs
– Little or no non-academic costs
– 24/7/365 access
– No constraints on course offerings
• Cons:
– Favors a later developmental stage
– Education must be much more than academic achievement
– Limited human connection and collaboration
– Infrastructure costs
• The Jury Is Out On:
– Retention
– What % of students learn effectively this way
12. The Most Prevalent Model –
Sages Run the Factory
• Pros:
– Scale
– With adequate units and funding, support services and
enrichments are available
– School culture can enhance the individual student’s
experience
• Cons:
– Differentiation is very resource intensive
– At lower grade levels the need for a low student-teacher
ratio increases costs
– At higher grade levels specialized homogeneous classes
(i.e. AP Science) increase costs
21. The 14% Problem
The 14% problem is about the need for
schools to strategize around the very real
possibility of significant losses to their
student body in the next economic
downturn. The included chart, drawn from
Wikipedia, shows the cyclical nature of
economic recession in the US economy.
24. How Blended Works Financially
• Class Size
– Reduces the effective instructor-to-students
ratio, allowing for larger sections
• Reduces cost for specialty courses
• Reduces dependence on subject experts
• One-Room-Schoolhouse Programs
– Gateway programs
– School-Within-A-School
25. Our Purpose:
Provide the best education our
institutions can sustain
This Moment is
an unprecedented opportunity to
sustain the excellence of
Independent schools
