While every year brings new learning theories (often just slight variations on old ones), the simple premise of the ADDIE model has withstood the test of time:
| A | Analyze | Determine what’s really needed |
| D | Design | Structure your content for maximum impact and retention |
| D | Develop | Create your learning materials |
| I | Implement | Share the learning with the target audience |
| E | Evaluate | Measure the effectiveness of the finished product |
I have been performing the first four steps of this process for 15 years now. You can engage me for one or more of these four roles as needed for your particular project. I perform all of them using plain English, not technobabble or learning-speak. I come to each project with the same clear eyes your audience will bring to it.
When consulting for you, my watchword will always be “clarity,” and your content will always be king (or queen, as the case may be). If you engage me for only one role, I of course reserve the right to ask questions that relate to the other roles; each informs the other organically. Think of ADDIE as a flexible string of core concepts rather than as a lockstep recipe. But it’s been around this long because it works, and I can make it work for you.
