In a prior post I urged you to create a new “normal” instead of waiting for the old “normal.” The article includes 6 starter questions and 16 assessment factors to help you identify opportunities.
In this post, I’ll give you a personal business example following the advice.
One of our flagship people development programs produces positive ROI, unlike traditional training. Due to most clients’ technology capabilities, we needed to deliver either with everyone remote or everyone in person in the same place. Clients historically chose in person, which drove program structure and timing.
The pandemic moved many to remote work. That allowed the program to be all remote or a hybrid. And that in turn allowed us to make changes that dramatically improve learning – and positive behavior change – in less time.
Could we have waited until things returned to normal? Yes. We chose instead to invest (major program changes cost time and $) in the improvement … and we are delighted with the result.
In this case, the pandemic broke the “remote” ice and enabled a change for the better.
What have you been wishing you could change for the better?
In case you missed it, here is the link to the original post with the 6 starter questions and 16 assessment factors:
