Learning Cluster Design: A Conversation With Crystal Kadakia (Part 1)

This is Part 1 of a 2-part video interview series between Greg DeVore, CEO of ScreenSteps, and Crystal Kadakia, Co-Founder of Learning Cluster Design. Watch Part 2 here.

People don't learn in the same ways they did 20 years ago. And, yet, often companies are using the same old one-and-done approach to training.

Companies ask their employees to learn a concept by memorizing it, but don't teach their employees how to adapt to varying circumstances or how to handle a rare situation. 

That's where Learning Cluster Design comes in. Learning Cluster Design (LCD) is a way of rethinking the modern workplace. It helps Learning and Development (L&D) teams teach their clients how to adapt to common and uncommon tasks at work.

Greg DeVore, CEO of ScreenSteps, sat down with LCD Co-Founder Crystal Kadakia to discuss how trainers could benefit from this new L&D approach. Kadakia is an international keynote speaker and co-author of Designing for Modern Learning.

In this video discussion, they address five questions:

• 0:25 - If we can remove the need to learn procedures and policies, how does that free us up to invest our brain space in higher-level learning?
• 2:46 - How does the LCD model account for all types of levels and skills?
• 6:11 - What would a strategic performance objective (SPO) look like, and how it might combine different types of content and skills?
• 10:20 - How does removing procedural training impact a learner's performance?
• 12:18 - Where can you learn more about the LCD model?

ScreenSteps is a cloud-based searchable knowledge base that uses principles found in the Learning Cluster Design. This includes enabling employees by not requiring them to memorize procedures and policies, called Zero Memorization.
