No endless meetings. And, why not, with your feet in the sand.  <\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here's a quick and realistic roadmap for planning your Q3-Q4 training... from your deck chair.  <\/span>\n<h2><strong>1. Breathe,<\/strong><b> observe and analyze<\/b><\/h2>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before designing anything, review these elements:<\/span>\n<ul>\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>What has worked in the first half of the year?<\/b><\/li>\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Which competencies are still in debt or lagging behind?<\/b><\/li>\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>What do managers or teams ask of us?<\/b><\/li>\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Do we have participation and satisfaction data?<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Summer tip: set up a simple table (traffic light type) with <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">green<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for what is maintained, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">yellow<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to check and <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">red<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for replanning. <\/span> \n<h2><b>2. Define your Q3-Q4 priorities<\/b><\/h2>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Avoid filling the calendar with unfocused training actions. Choose 2-3 priority lines. Common examples:  <\/span>\n<ul>\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Upskilling in key digital tools<\/span><\/li>\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Intermediate leadership training<\/span><\/li>\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Enhanced onboarding for new hires<\/span><\/li>\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Soft skills for hybrid teams<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Link each line to a business objective (growth, efficiency, work environment...).  <\/span>\n<h2><b>3. Draw a training roadmap<\/b><\/h2>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now start organizing:<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To organize your training plan, begin by assigning clear priorities to each month, defining which <\/span><b>competencies<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> you want to address, which <\/span><b>formats <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">formats you will use, who will be <\/span><b>target audience<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and who will be in charge of <\/span><b>execution<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. For example, in September you can focus on hybrid workshops for new managers to strengthen middle leadership skills. In October, training could focus on soft skills for remote teams through microlearning, an agile and accessible format that reaches the entire company, with the coordination of Human Resources and the technical area. In this way, your roadmap will be clear, practical and aligned with your organization's needs and resources.  <\/span>\n<h2><b>4. Design itineraries, not just courses<\/b><\/h2>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Think of the learning experience as a sequence:<\/span>\n<ol>\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Prior sensitization<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (mailing, short video, survey)<\/span><\/li>\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Main training<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (classroom, online, capsules)<\/span><\/li>\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Post-course reinforcement<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (follow-up, challenges, feedback)<\/span><\/li>\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Real application<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (job transfer, mentoring)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This helps you generate impact beyond the classroom (virtual or physical).<\/span>\n<h2><b>5. Reuse, update and reduce the load.<\/b><\/h2>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not everything has to be new. Check your training catalog: <\/span>\n<ul>\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Can you <\/span><b>reactivate existing content<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> with small adjustments?<\/span><\/li>\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Are there materials that you can turn into <\/span><b>microcapsules<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">?<\/span><\/li>\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Can you group similar courses under the same route?<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Summer is ideal for <\/span><b>debugging the LMS<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and leave it \"ready to go\" for September.<\/span>\n<h2><b>6. Communicate well (and on time)<\/b><\/h2>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A common mistake: designing well, but not communicating <\/span><b>not communicating in time<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span>\n<ul>\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Prepare your <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">September launch<\/span><b>campaigns now. <\/b><\/li>\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Program<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>to<\/strong> emails, teasers in Slack, pills in internal networks.<\/span><\/li>\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Create expectation<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in advance.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<strong>Make the post-holiday return have something to motivate you.<\/strong>\n\n<b>And now?<\/b>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Take your time, yes, but don't lose sight of the impact that thoughtful summer planning can have. September comes quickly, and your teams will appreciate having useful, clear and well-targeted training from day one. <\/span>\n<h4><b>Need help designing your training strategy?<\/b><\/h4>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At Actua, we are a <\/span><b>elearning consultancy<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> specialized in helping organizations to:<\/span>\n<ul>\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Identify competency gaps<\/span><\/li>\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Design adapted training routes<\/span><\/li>\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Optimize your LMS and content<\/span><\/li>\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Measuring impact and real results<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\ud83d\udc49<\/span> <b>Write us and schedule a <a href=\"https:\/\/actuasolutions.com\/contacto\/\">free session<\/a>.<\/b>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your September strategy starts today... even if you're under the sun.<\/span>\n\n\u00a0\n\nYou will find this and other resources on <a href=\"https:\/\/actualearn.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Actua Learn<\/a>, our platform for L&D professionals.","resource_form":"","resource_file":"","webinar_id":"","webinar_date":"","custom_questions":null},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Plan September training from your deck chair<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Discover how to design your September training strategy from the relaxation of summer.
