Information Technology and Organizational Learning Assignment:
Review the section on the definitions of maturity stages and dimension variables in the CEO Technology Best Practices Arc. Define each of the maturity stages and performance dimensions. What are the key concepts from each section?
the organisation has carried out its training, it needs to ensure that the training it delivered was impactive, effective and met the organisations training objectives. This is vital for any training of similar modules which will be carried out at future dates and establishes how the organisation plans the correct training needed for its workforce. The trainer needs to consider how the training was delivered and did everything go to plan or were there any problems whilst delivering the training, which could be ironed out in future training. Consideration needs to be considered on how well the training methods worked, if they went well and which parts of the training didn’t go as well as planned. Training is carried out to meet certain criteria for the organisation, either this is to come in line with legal and regulatory requirements (Health and Safety reg’s), updating the workforce on new process and task or to improve the workforces efficiency, ultimately the training needs to meet the objectives and goals set. There are a number of learning models that are currently in use and help an organisation plan training, they are all basically steered around the same principles and these are Kirkpatrick, Kaufman, Anderson, and Brinkerhoff. These work around measuring and determining and employs aptitude on four kevels of criteria. Reaction – Did they enjoy the training? Learning – Did they pass the assessment? Behaviour – Do they work better? Results – Did business metrics improve? There are a number of ways the organisation can evaluate its findings, which do not have to be intense for the student. Standard tests which have either a multiple-choice question or true/false questions, both these methods work well and can capture most individuals learning abilities. Another way is to watch employees during the training and on-site work which will help you evaluate, if the student took in the information given. For larger organisation productivity data analysis maybe best suited and will either show an increase or decline in productivity therefore showing how effective the training has been. 1.4d preparing, delivering and marking tests and assignments Preparation – An important part in deciding on which content will be included in any tests and assignments. When carrying out any assignments and tests there needs to be a defined and clear subject matter and this should be based around the training carried out and preferably after the training so the student as the student will have retained most of the knowledge around the session. The results of the test will give the lecture a greater understanding of how the students have taken in the information provided in the training sessions, this will also give a good insight of the employee’s abilities.
