Case Assignment
Details
This course focuses on the models, concepts, and phases of the ADDIE (ADiME) Model of assessing, designing, developing, implementing and evaluating a training and development program. This paper is an opportunity to apply the models and concepts to the case study entitled "A.P. Moller - Maersk Group: Evaluating Strategic Talent Management Initiatives." The elements of your paper are to be helpful to Moller and Maersk (M&M); to improve their effectiveness through the development of a training program. A suggested way to accomplish this project is to read and become familiar with the case study first. As you learn about the concepts and models in the text, see how they may apply to the situation (case) to most benefit the organization. Do not wait to do all the writing during the last few days before the deadline. So, the idea is -- you learn and then you write (apply) the concepts/models to the case. If you do this week to week, writing the paper will be much more manageable.
Using the Training and & HRD Process Model (Figure 1-7 of text, page 27) as the roadmap, you are to develop a Leadership Development training program for the "mission critical" group which is part of the top 120 positions in M&M. Note the text has chapters providing detailed information about each phase of this model. Note that the text model is called ADiME (assessment, design, implementation {also includes development but not framed that way}, and evaluation), which folds in development as part of implementation. For the purposes of this paper, organize the paper around the ADDIE Model (Google it).
Also note that additional components (Coaching and Performance Management, etc.). These components are in addition to the ones provided in the author's model (page 27). However the additional components added to the model below are included in other chapters of the text as well.
After you write the introduction of your paper, you'll need to include headers corresponding to the grading rubric - assessment, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. Certainly, you may have sub headers if that helps the organization of your paper. The statements below are from the grading rubric. You need to address these ADDIE Model phases as you develop a training program for M&M. These elements are listed below/ next page which include elements from the grading rubric.
General Outline
Task
Distinguishes current HRD gaps from systemic (non-HRD) gaps, anticipates HRD needs based on organizational strategy, and anticipates HRD needs due to changes in technology
Briefly tell how you would conduct an assessment. Then based on the case provide data from the case
Design your Proposed Solutions
For example strategy, objectives, method (fitted to the training target-skill, knowledge, interpersonal competency, or experiential growth), materials, and media (classroom or technological.) Only use that which is applicable to your proposals.
How Will You Develop Your Solution?
Organizes content assets (developed in the design phase) to plan timely and logical delivery of all learning components with proper integration.
How Will You Implement Your Solution
Such as contractor versus in-house facilitator, type of facility, use of technology, equipment, materials, scheduling/sequencing, constraints, and pilot test if feasible.
How Will You Evaluate The Effectiveness of Your Solution
SUGGESTION: use the four Kirkpatrick levels-reactions, learning (retention), behavior (transfer), and organization-level results
