This guide focuses on how to select the right classes for your training program.
1) Identify Your Audience
Most organizations begin by selecting a target audience for the training. This may be a broad population like “All Employees” or a smaller subset by level (Individual Contributors, New Managers, Experienced Managers, etc) or role/team (Revenue Team, Operations Department, etc).
2) Identify Skill Gaps
Consider the unique needs of each training population. We recommend you identify 2-3 key focus areas per 6-class program to effectively focus on your learning outcomes. You may utilize information sources such as engagement surveys or aggregate performance appraisal data to determine training priorities. Or, you may reflect on questions such as these to narrow down your most critical needs:
- Which two capabilities are most critical to the audience doing their job well?
- Which two capabilities does your audience struggle with the most?
- Which two capabilities differentiate the best leaders/employees in your organization?
Is there an overlap between capabilities? Start there!
3) Explore our Pre-Designed Programs or Design Your Own Journey
Check out Hone’s recommended program tracks to see if any of these offerings might be a good fit for your needs. There are pre-designed programs built for specific roles (ie top talent, first-time managers, senior leaders, etc) or for specific skills and needs (ie managing change, new employee onboarding, leading cross-functionally, etc). Each program was created through a rigorous instructional design process that includes:
- Research into over a dozen capability models from leading consulting firms like McKinsey, Deloitte, and KPMG
- Collaboration with subject matter experts across industries
- Customer surveys to understand the biggest training priorities at each leadership level
- Hone learners’ feedback after years of delivering these classes
If you prefer to create a uniquely curated learning path, you can leverage Hone's comprehensive catalog to align specific classes with your identified training needs. To streamline your search, you can directly associate your training topics with these predefined categories and explore the available classes within each. When you find a class that aligns with your requirements, we recommend delving into the details provided in the "Frameworks" and "Skills Learned" sections of each class slide to assist you in making an informed decision about the most suitable class for your learning journey. We recommend your program includes 4-8 unique classes to ensure a well-rounded and comprehensive learning experience.
