Think like a start-up: scale online learning with limited resources

Limited resources and capacity… does that ring a bell? Maybe you’re the sole LMS admin, the only online learning designer, or a leader of a small team. You want to lead innovation, growth, growth, and  new initiatives across your online program using an LMS. You have the foundation set and know that online learning has a tremendous potential to reach more people in more places. But, you find yourself challenged with a limited budget and human capital, only 40 hours in a work week, and some constraints that are out of your power to change. You can’t multiple yourself (at least not yet) but you can employ strategies that maximize your impact. Where do you begin? What can you start doing right now?

As the Online Learning Lead and one of two global LMS admins for a global education non-profit, I’ve been in your shoes. Despite these challenges, our small but mighty team has scaled online learning successfully across the globe. Just last year, we reached over 20,000 learners in 17 different countries. I’ll share our solutions-oriented, pilot-loving, platform-hacking, data-centered mindset and strategies. Learn how to adopt the mentality and mindsets that leaders of successful start-ups share and apply them to your everyday work. Let’s dive into some real-world case studies and dissect the practical solutions together. Learn how to revolutionize the way you and your team problem-solve, provide support, and innovate.

In this session, you will learn:

1. How to a identify a problem, issue, room for innovation/improvement

2. How to uncover the root of a problem

3. How to involve others brainstorm possible solutions using the start-up mentality

4. How to pilot solutions and collect concrete feedback and data

5. How to conclude a pilot and apply learnings on a larger scale

6. How to identify where to invest your limited time, resources, and headspace to maximize your impact
