Case Study:

Beth Schaefer, Director of the Institute for Professional Development at Metropolitan State University, listens to her customers, so when they asked for help implementing change, she went to work!

"We had really solid frameworks and slide content, but were lacking the impact our customers were asking for. They wanted their people to leave training not only understanding how to lead change, but feeling like they'd already started leading and knew exactly what to do next."



So Beth worked backwards...
Identifying what learners would accomplish during training, so they'd be ready to apply after training.

Develop case for change

Identify and understand stakeholders

Create communication plan

Anticipate resistance

Leverage the change curve

They're loving it!
“The format of the training encouraged learning.  Overall, I am pleased with the experience!”

“The content was excellent. Practice tools were great.”

“I have been to a bunch of change management trainings; this training was definitely the most effective, most engaging, and most meaningful to me.”
“I am so glad I took this training. It was fun, engaging, and the content was taught in a way that made the information and concepts easily digestible.”

“The Experience Builder tool was great – very easy to learn and intuitive.  I really appreciated the group discussions it generated, and I learned from them."

"Like a D&D campaign or a game of Clue, or an escape room... but for professional skills!"
They're using it!
"Our first customer introduced this experience to their top 25 leaders, who immediately embraced the change language. They reported visible evidence that leaders were using the concepts. Now, they are extending the workshop to the next tier of leaders."

"Our goal with professional development is to always have participants apply what they learn outside the training room; ExperienceBuilder makes that happen."
