The New Curation Framework | www.opensesame.com | (503) 808-1286 | 5
All too often, L&D teams approach curation as a single
project to be completed all at once and seldom—
perhaps never—revisit. A moderate level of effort
is exerted at the start of course selection,
which gradually decreases to essentially
zero sustained effort over time. We'll call
this a Low Effort / Low Impact approach.
Ideally, curation should be an
ongoing exercise that requires
continued effort and investment
to maximize value over time. Our
High Effort / High Impact model
starts with substantially more
effort at the start of the process,
followed by a continued sustained
effort at a low to moderate level,
depending on the organization's
needs. As shown, this leads
to increasing impact as time
progresses due to higher initial
adoption and higher program
retention over time.
Time investment: maximizing value
Like most long-term strategic initiatives, curation requires a
substantial time investment at the start, which pays dividends
in the long run. Teams who put in the time and effort upfront to
identify foundational requirements and preferences see more
success and higher organizational impact down the road.
