Editor's Notes
- As instructional designers, we must constantly adjust to the volatile nature of our field. This industry is relatively new to begin with so change is to be expected. We also have constantly changing social and technological dynamics to adjust to.
- We have three primary challenges to navigating our jobs each day: #1 The constant changes of social and organization needs, as well as technology can distract us along the journey | #2. Additionally, technology allows SMEs to bypass IDs in the short term content that may look just as good on the surface, but is often instructionally weak or counterproductive | #3. Our troubled economy discourages proactive solutions. It puts immediate needs before the proactive long term changes that might help us.
- In a recent study (Kapp & Defelice), Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) were identified as the #2 hindrance to on-time delivery, influencing the high cost of creating an average hour of instruction.
- We need to consider some bold changes to reach our goals. Instead of a “passing the baton” model of teamwork, we need a team approach. We need to partner with our SME against the common challenges of the project to deliver on time.
- The “passing the baton” model creates bottlenecks – constraints in quality, cost, and speed. Collaborating with SMEs is one way to break through to a new model where the old limitations can be expanded. However, this is only possible for those who are willing to take bold action to include SMEs beyond the traditional design model. Are you willing to try something new?
- We need a new roadmap for design. The traditional model cannot keep pace with our current rate of change. “Rapid” design risks leaving out key aspects of the ADDIE process. Traditional design is like a poorly designed highway – the training keeps being revised by the SME or ID, similar to the constant potholes and repairs. A better designed highway from the start solves this.

- How do we design a better training road to performance from the start? The architect – the SME – needs to be empowered with the tools she needs to craft a better design. When we consider empowering our SMEs with the basic design skillset, we lay the foundation for better results with less revisions and less overall effort.
- Break the limitations off of traditional design by taking the risk to empower SMEs with your design expertise. Chances are that you’ll be a guru rather than a grunt
- Here are some specific management tips that work from Philly based design experts Prestera & Commoli. Expanding the roadmap as a project manager to include Gantt charts, communication plans, and status updates will keep “student designers” on track. You might also want to include reminders for next steps linked to the key persons responsible, action items for the client, SME, and stakeholder with deliverable dates, and information about future tasks and milestones.
- You can empower them with the ADDIE roadmap, and the tools they need for the journey. Basic analysis tools, instructional strategies, etc will go a long way in keeping them on track.
- But please, remember the guard rails! | #1 Take your first “baby steps” towards collaboration carefully! | #2 Find the *right* SME – one that is fun to work with and eager to learn how to design more effectively | #3 Driver’s Ed: if you got to drive the “student driver” car, did your teacher use the brake on you too?
- Let’s have some fun with some scenarios – here’s a few ideas of what first steps toward an Open Source collaboration might look like for you.
- The 1950’s workplace is what Fred or George went to every day. It was pretty low on flexibility but high on stability. Many workplaces today have lost the stability but retain the rigid culture!
- The 1990’s workplace is the workplace of Stephen Covey (7 Habits) or John Gray (Men Are From Mars). This workplace values proactivity, working “smart” not hard, and a more sensitive culture. In a thought economy, feelings matter to enhance or restrict the bottom line.
- The 2010s workplace is attempting to catch up with rapid changes in our world, and stay on top of a globalized economy. No one opposes the idea of collaboration but it is still far from the norm. Social networks and maturing, user-friendly technology provide anyone with the tools to publish their expertise, whether it makes sense or not.
- How should we approach collaboration in light of workplace environment and the SME? Is it better to dive into the deep end of the pool, or gradually wade our way in from the shallow end? Regardless of your decision, remember that you have guard rails available!
- Instructional Designers will always have to deliver within tight timelines. That’s a reality and part of the challenge of the job.
- However if we properly equip them with the basic design skillset, SMEs can lighten the load for both of us.
- Take the calculated risk: share the basics of your design skillset with an interested SME. Break the bottleneck by empowering your SME.
- With an “open source”, collaborative attitude, you will arrive at your shared goals on time and within budget.
