When it Comes to L&D for Your Organization:
Content Creation vs. Content Curation?
Every decision you make must be tied to your strategic goals, objectives and the outcomes you need to achieve! Consider these questions:
-
Where do we want to be as an organization, department and business unit?
-
Who are our key sponsors and stakeholders?
-
What is our delivery focus within our Learning & Development role?
-
How can we deliver within a shorter cycle and increase our resiliency?

Assessing and shaping the content based on information and competency needs within your workforce
Promoting the use or your curated content with posts, early adopters, and champions
Providing the delivery platforms for content access and vital worker contributions
Applying the new skills and assessing content while encouraging feedback and contributions back into the curated content
