Learning

Not a catalogue. Mothusi names the capability each business lacks, tutors from its own documents, and keeps the requirement open until applied work is signed off.

For learning managers and training coordinators at banks, agencies and foundations, and the trainers who run the day.

1   Name the gap

"Needs training" is not a gap. "Cannot close a month" is.

Mothusi reads each business's file and names the capability that is missing, so three businesses stuck on monthly records get three different responses, and none of them is a generic course.

Three businesses stuck on monthly financial records, three different causes, three different responses: a records clinic, tutoring, a mentor review; none of them a generic course

2   One clinic, not a catalogue

The same gap across 21 businesses becomes one clinic.

When 21 businesses are stuck on monthly records, Mothusi splits them by cause, eight with no records, five with gaps, four that do not reconcile, and prepares the six-week clinic for your approval.

Twenty-one blocked on monthly records, split by cause; the six-week clinic approved; six weeks on, thirteen cleared and signed off, five resubmitted, three still blocked with a named next action

3   Invite the ones stuck

Invite the businesses the day would move, and say why to each.

The list is sorted by what the day would change on each file, with the reason on every row, so fourteen seats go to the businesses one gate from Operating, not to whoever is free.

Invite delegates: the businesses the day would move most first, the reason on each row, the invitation in your words

4   The week before

The day runs from the file, down to who has not answered.

The event's home gives you the honest count, eleven of fourteen coming, the two who have not answered, the venue waiting for your yes and the reminder already drafted, so the day is ready without a spreadsheet.

The coordinator's home the week before: eleven of fourteen coming, two have not answered, the venue waiting for a yes

5   On the day

Coming through the door is activity, not the result.

The register marks who is in, at the end the trainer marks who left with the month balanced, and thirty days on one question asks whether October balanced too, because that is the number the day exists to move.

The register on a phone on the day: who is in, who has not come yet

6   Between sessions

The tutor works from the owner's own file, not a textbook.

Mothusi tells Tshiamo Electrical it has two of seven requirements, asks for the customer proof it already holds, checks that names, amounts and dates match and sends the pack to a reviewer, never deciding itself.

Mothusi tutoring Tshiamo Electrical from its own file: two of seven requirements done, the next is one completed customer job, what to upload, and nothing moves until a person reviews it

7   Applied work, reviewed

Applied work, checked by a person, clears the requirement.

Thabo attends five sessions and prepares his own reconciled July and August, Mothusi pre-checks them, Lerato M. signs them off and gate six clears, while a classmate who sat all six sessions stays blocked.

The clinic did not clear Thabo's requirement; his own reconciled records, checked by Lerato M., did: five of six sessions, one applied output, gate six cleared, and a classmate who attended all six still blocked

8   The portfolio

Completion is one signal. Can the learner now do the work?

One view across every course and cohort shows participation, pass rates, applied outputs and the capability a reviewer signed off, so a course that passes the quiz and produces no tenders is caught before the next intake.

Nine courses, 412 people: 206 can now do the work, checked by a person; one course passes the quiz and produced almost no tenders
