How FocusU designs for impact using LTEM

The eBook “Designing Learning with LTEM” explores how FocusU integrates the Learning Transfer Evaluation Model (LTEM) into its learning design philosophy. LTEM, introduced by Dr. Will Thalheimer, offers a research-backed framework to design impactful learning journeys by emphasizing skill transfer and behavioral change over mere knowledge acquisition.

Key Highlights:
Understanding LTEM:

LTEM builds on traditional models like Kirkpatrick by offering deeper distinctions between learning stages, such as knowledge, decision-making, and task competence.
It focuses on outcomes like workplace application and organizational impact rather than just learner satisfaction.
How FocusU Applies LTEM:

Engagement (Tiers 1-3): Interactive kickoff sessions, gamified activities, and group discussions to foster active participation.
Knowledge Building (Tiers 4-5): Pre-reads, scenario-based learning, and real-world case discussions to develop decision-making skills.
Application (Tiers 6-7): Workplace application tasks, group reflections, and manager check-ins to ensure skill transfer.
Organizational Impact (Tier 8): Action Learning Projects (ALPs) address real business challenges, linking learning outcomes to measurable results.
Tailored Learning:

Not every program addresses all LTEM tiers. FocusU collaborates with clients to design journeys that balance feasibility with impact.
The eBook underscores LTEM’s value in crafting learning programs that drive measurable transformation.
