How WorkPlan Learning Supports Change Management

WorkPlan Co-Founder, Brian Clark, shares insights about how WorkPlan Learning Support Change Management.

When we designed WorkPlan Learning, one of the primary objectives was to enable teams to use WorkPlan Learning to support Change Management. Over the years, our team has worked on over 400 LMS implementation projects and we understand how critical excellence in Change Management is to achieving success.

Let me start with the most obvious way WorkPlan Learning supports Change Management. We offer 4 online courses in Change Management with 17 modules of learning.

• Change Management Fundamentals
• Change Management Models
• Project Change Management
• The Change Management Process

In addition to these courses, we have other subject areas that directly support Change Management such as, Project Management, Communication, Leadership and others.

The tools that are available in WorkPlan Learning are amazing for planning and managing a Change Project. I will explain a few of these here, and if you want to have a more in-depth look at WorkPlan Learning for Change Management, you can get in touch with me.

WorkPlan Learning is a Collaborative Learning Management System (LMS).

The system can allow any person to create amazing content and learning to share with others in their team or beyond. Admin can select who has content development privileges. My clients use this set of features to tap into thought leaders, subject matter experts and other contributors to a Change Management Project. These same features are used to communicate across the organisation or to specific stakeholders who are impacted by the Change Project in some way – either directly or indirectly.

We included Strategic Goals and Team Objectives in WorkPlan Learning.

We designed the WorkPlan Learning LMS to be a strategic enablement tool. We believe learning and content must be aligned to strategy and team objectives. In a Change Management Project, you can set strategic goals or use the ones already being focused on by the organisation. Team objectives are a powerful tool to ensure the learning and content development is driving the execution. This goes even further by providing the entire organisation or selected audiences visibility of the Change Project and enable them to prepare for go-live or implementation.

I have already mentioned teams. WorkPlan Learning helps you build teams based on function, project or anything else.

A person can be a member of more than one team and a team leader can be assigned and identified. Team progress against learning and content objectives is measured to help identify any stalls or delays in keeping people on the same page. Teams can be assigned team objectives that are linked to learning and content. The use of forums in content and learning portfolios are an effective targeted way to gain feedback, brainstorm ideas, and share ways the learning, content and tools have been used.

Content and course authoring is so easy in WorkPlan Learning.

All the tools are there to help people create amazing content fast and without any training. The authoring tools include a comprehensive WYSIWYG editor, assessments and quizzes, video, images, checklists and a powerful survey builder. A person can create content and share with others before publishing it more widely. Once published, this content may be permission only or open to every person in the organisation. This means content can be published within the Change Team while still allowing other content pertaining to the Change Project can be published more widely.

WorkPlan Learning is an effective tool that supports Change Management Projects exceptionally well. The WorkPlan Learning LMS offers the combination of existing online e-learning courses in Change Management and other related areas as well as having the functions, features and tools to support you and your team succeed in Change Management.
