This chapter is all about initiatives (or learning events), how to analyze, design, develop and implement them.
24 3 are the main reason for using LEAD. An initiative is a learning event, like a course or workshop, that is created to close an identified performance gap, where some kind of learning or training will help to close the gap. LEAD supports the development of several types of learning events (see Scope below). are developed in LEAD using the ADDIE (Analysis, Design, Develop, Implement, Evaluate) instructional design process. The main tabs under mirror that process. Unlike the Dashboard, this screen will show all of the initiatives in LEAD, depending on your Filter selection, of course. When you select an initiative on this screen you can select on of the subtabs under the tree on the left to open that initiative in that subtab, or you can use the icons in the Actions column to: View the detailed information of the initiative 32 Edit the initiative information 258 Review the history of changes made to the initiative information, including the user name and date/time of saved changes, and revert to an earlier saved revision You can click on the column headers of each table to sort the entries by that column. Clicking on a column header again, will reverse the sort. Small arrows in the column header let you know which way the data is currently sorted. Create a New Initiative To create a new initiative, you need to use on of the following Filter options: My, Active, or (Default Text name). Then select on the New button. This opens the Initiative Detail screen, ready for you to enter the following information: Initiative ID The Initiative ID is the human readable identification or code of the initiative. This can be any mix of characters and numbers. For example, the first two to four letters identify the initiative subject area, the second three numbers identify the level of the initiative, followed by the first letter of the scope, while the last two numbers identify the year the initiative will start to be used. For example the Kitchen Design module's ID could be: KD-101-M-19. The Initiative ID can be edited on the: > screen > Analysis > Initiative Management screen > Design > Initiative Management screen Initiative Title The full name or Title of the initiative.
25 Version The Version number of the initiative. All initiatives start with version 1. Once an initiative has been approved, changes can no longer be made, unless a new version of the initiative is created. Then changes can be made as needed in the new version. Status The Status of the initiative shows whether the initiative is: Incomplete Complete Approved (no more changes can be made to this version, you have to create a new version of the initiative in order to make changes) The status is a user selected field. When trying to set the status to Complete, LEAD will check, when you save that change, to ensure that all required fields and elements are complete. If they are not, you get a text file that lists everything that needs to be completed before the status can be changed. For that reason, we recommend that you first change the status to complete, and only after that has been successful, change the status to Approved. Department The responsible Department that leads or owns this initiative. This cannot be changed after the initiative has been created. Owner The Owner of the initiative is typically the user that created the initiative. The owner can be reassigned to another Team Member at a later date, if needed. Start Date The expected Start Date the initiative will start. End Date The expected End Date of the development of the initiative. Scope The Scope or type of the initiative determines what the individual elements of the structure of the learning event are called on the Design and Develop screens. The scope can only be set when an initiative is created, it cannot be changed after the initiative is saved.
