5-point guide to creating a training plan
Purpose of this guide
When managing change, it is crucial to appreciate that the success or failure of your change initiative hinges on the successful adoption of the change. More often than not, to achieve adoption, people impacted by the change may require new knowledge and the right skills to successfully transition from the old to new ways of working. Therefore, you must create a training plan to support acquiring the knowledge and skills. This guide leverages the five-phased Instructional System Design (ISD) approach to provide a five-point guide to creating a training plan.
Who should use this guide
Anyone tasked with the responsibility of creating a managing change. This may include the Training of Lead, Project & Change Managers, Line Managers, Supervisors, and Product Managers.
Purpose
Training Needs Analysis (TNA) is conducted to identify gaps in knowledge and skills and clarify training goals, objectives, learning environment, audience type, constraints, and training delivery options.

Purpose
The Implementation phase refers to the actual delivery of the training, whether in-person classroom-based, virtual classroom-based, e-Learning, or video-on-demand lab-based. The purpose of this phase is the effective and efficient delivery of the training.
This phase must promote the end user's understanding of the training material, support the end users' mastery of objectives, and ensure the end users' transfer of knowledge from the training content to efficient usage of the new tool, process or system.

Purpose
This is the final step where you measure the effectiveness and efficiency of the training.
Training evaluation should occur throughout the entire training design process - within steps, between steps, and after implementation. We have adopted the internationally recognised training evaluation model, the Kirkpatrick Model.
The Kirkpatrick Model is one of the widely used frameworks for evaluating training effectiveness. Complete the following activities in the Kirkpatrick Model to effectively evaluate your training. See the framework summary.
