What is *Map It* by Cathy Moore about?

*Map It* by Cathy Moore outlines the Action Mapping framework, a performance-focused approach to instructional design that prioritizes measurable business outcomes over traditional "info-dump" training. The book guides readers through identifying real-world performance gaps, designing targeted interventions, and collaborating with stakeholders to ensure training solves actual problems rather than just conveying information.

Who should read *Map It* by Cathy Moore?

Instructional designers, L&D professionals, and trainers seeking to align training with business goals will benefit most. It’s also valuable for managers and stakeholders who commission training, offering tools to reframe vague requests into actionable performance solutions.

Is *Map It* worth reading for instructional designers?

Yes—*Map It* provides a actionable alternative to outdated training models, emphasizing real-world application over theoretical knowledge. Its step-by-step processes, real-life examples, and stakeholder collaboration strategies make it a practical resource for improving training ROI.

What is the Action Mapping framework?

Action Mapping is a four-phase process: 1) Identify the business goal, 2) Define measurable employee actions needed to achieve it, 3) Design practice activities mimicking real tasks, and 4) Provide essential information only when directly relevant. This cuts unnecessary content and focuses on behavior change.

How does *Map It* differ from traditional instructional design?

Unlike traditional "school model" training focused on knowledge retention, *Map It* prioritizes observable workplace behaviors. For example, instead of creating a course on "communication skills," Action Mapping would pinpoint specific gaps (e.g., ineffective client emails) and design scenario-based practice.

What are the key takeaways from *Map It*?

- Start with business goals, not content requests. - Replace lectures with realistic practice activities. - Use prototypes to quickly test solutions. - Address non-training issues (e.g., flawed processes) that hinder performance.

How does *Map It* suggest working with subject matter experts (SMEs)?

The book advises redirecting SMEs from content dumping by asking: “What should people *do* differently?” and “What does success look like?” This shifts focus from abstract knowledge to observable actions, ensuring SMEs contribute practical insights.

Can *Map It* help measure training effectiveness?

Yes—by tying every design decision to a specific business metric (e.g., reduced customer complaints), *Map It* enables clearer evaluation. Success is measured by performance improvements, not completion rates or test scores.

Beyond Information Dumps: A Revolution in Training Design

00:00

Ever found yourself creating a training course that looks pretty but changes nothing? You're not alone. The traditional approach to workplace learning is fundamentally broken. We've been trapped in a knowledge transfer mindset where we assume people aren't performing well because they lack information. But in the real world, knowledge rarely drives behavior change. Think about it - we all know we should exercise daily and eat healthily, yet knowledge alone doesn't transform our habits. The same applies in workplace settings. This is where action mapping enters as a revolutionary alternative to the "information dump" approach that dominates corporate training. Action mapping begins by establishing a clear, measurable business goal. Not "employees will understand the compliance policy" but "compliance violations will decrease 30% by Q3 as employees correctly follow procedures." This simple shift transforms everything. When Bob initially requested training so "salespeople will know all product features," the discussion evolved to "Mega and monster widget sales will increase 5% by Q4 as salespeople identify the best widget for each customer." This measurable goal completely changed the approach - instead of creating an information dump, Bob identified multiple solutions including adjusting commission structures and creating targeted practice scenarios. By focusing on concrete outcomes rather than knowledge transfer, we connect learning directly to business results and justify the investment of time and resources.
