Using the Jobs to Be Done Framework in Learning Design

As a group, learning designers have been trying to break out of the order-taker role for a long time. Adopting the Jobs To Be Done framework may be one way you can help clients change their perspective. In this episode, I speak with Ger Driesen about applying the Jobs to Be Done framework to the instructional design process. In particular, this approach can help you address the functional, emotional and social aspects of learning.

Ger is the Learning Innovation Leader at aNewSpring, the provider of an online blended learning platform. In this role, he focusses on sharing the latest insights with L&D professionals to inspire them to design, develop and deliver effective learning solutions. Ger is known as ‘the Dutch L&D trendcatcher’ based on his presentations, articles, blogs and tweets on the latest Learning and Development trends. Ger finds value in connecting people, ideas and inspiration in the global L&D community.

    In 2020, we were motivated by Christensen’s book to begin applying the Jobs to be Done Theory in the following manner with integrated social and professional learning tools: https://learningfront.blogspot.com/search?q=jobs+theory

    Here are some jobs to done in schools: https://www.learningfront.com/Media/LF_School_Jobs.pdf

    We also like Christensen’s approach to disruptive innovation for making significant changes in the learning process for each learner: https://www.learningfront.com/Media/LF_CCI_SIAP_PLP.pdf
