Learning Journey Builder
Overview
The Learning Journey Builder skill helps design complete learning ecosystems that extend far beyond the workshop. It integrates formal training (10%), work-based learning (70%), and social learning (20%) into cohesive journeys.
When to Use This Skill
- •Designing complete 6-week or longer learning programs
- •Creating stretch assignments and work-based practice
- •Planning coaching and peer learning structures
- •Building communities of practice
- •Designing sustained learning pathways
- •Mapping workflow integration for new skills
- •Planning for application support post-training
70:20:10 Model Overview
70% - Work-Based Learning
- •Real projects and stretch assignments
- •Graduated complexity over time
- •Peer collaboration on actual work
- •Just-in-time support when stuck
20% - Social Learning
- •Embedded coaching (1-on-1 or manager-led)
- •Peer learning and pair programming
- •Communities of practice
- •Retrospectives and reflection
10% - Formal Training
- •Workshop (just-enough content)
- •Online learning (supplemental, job aids)
- •Quick references and on-demand support
Journey Design Components
- •Kickoff: Workshop that frames all learning
- •Phase 1 (Weeks 1-2): Coached work, high support
- •Phase 2 (Weeks 3-6): More independent, peer collaboration
- •Phase 3 (Weeks 7+): Sustained practice, lower support
- •Measurement: Continuous tracking of application and results

Best Practices
✅ Do:
- •Focus on learner outcomes and business impact
- •Use real work examples and scenarios
- •Design for application, not knowledge recall
- •Measure what matters
❌ Don't:
- •Train what doesn't drive behavior change
- •Use simulated practice over real work
- •Over-design solutions for simple problems
- •Ignore the business context
