Book Review - Design Thinking for Training and Development with Mandy Lambert

Today I’m joined by Mandy Lambert, an instructional designer interning at Midcontinent Independent System Operator (MISO) and our discussion is all about the book Design Thinking for Training and Development by Sharon Boller and Laura Fletcher. From the back of the book:"When training and development initiatives treat learning as something that occurs as a one-time event, the learner and the business suffer. Using design thinking can help talent development professionals ensure learning sticks to drive improved performance. With its hands-on, use-it-today approach, this book will get you started on your own journey to applying design thinking."In summarizing and reflecting on the book we cover topics such as: 4 key pillars design thinking for learning designThe value of the 5 kinds of constraintsHow a great design considers the sweet spot of all stakeholders, not just learnersThe elements of a great implementation planAnd much more!You can check out more about the book here: Q&A with the authors: https://www.td.org/press-release/q-a-with-the-authors-of-design-thinking-for-training-and-developmentBuy the book: https://www.td.org/books/design-thinking-for-training-and-developmentAlso, learn more about Mandy at her website! https://mandylambert100.wixsite.com/websiteCreditsIntroduction music, “For Mimi” by Twin Musicom is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. Support the show
