Report by Cross Functional Team

CATEGORY: CROSS FUNCTIONAL TEAM AWARD

PROJECT: Human Factors Awareness Building-: Self-Directed Learning Module Team

CATEGORY: CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT

NOMINATOR: Sharon Guten
SPONSOR: 468

LEADER: 5187

PROFILE:
Describe the situation or event related to the individual's or team's performance.
1. This team overcame an unusual number of content and process challenges and
?firsts? while maintaining high commitment to the team goal and collaborative
spirit. (Innovative Ways of Working)

2. Innovations created by the team are: (a) a self-directed course offering with three
interrelated modules and (b) course content reinforced by interactive scenarios and
learning activities built directly into the course. (Continuous Improvement)

3. Specifically, the team undertook to do the following: (a) convert the GOJO Human
Factors learning materials previously delivered by stand-up subject matter experts
(Market Research and Social and Behavioral Science) into a 3-part set of self-
directed learning modules, (b) deployed by the LMS which itself was undergoing an
upgrade. (Doing What it Takes)

4. As such, this team built capability for GOJO by making it possible for more
learners to acquire GOJO Human Factors know-how, without depending on stand-
up course offering (approximately once every 18 - 24 months)

5. Sarah Thomas stretched to move into the team leader role when the Market
Research leader left GOJO. She very ably lead (a) the completion of content
development (with Sara Fusco and the L&D team) and (b) the implementation of the
course on the new GOJO LMS platform when she teamed with various members of
L&D across stages of the development (Maria Molvin, Regina Nasinnyk, and
Sharon Jendrisak). (Organizational Agility)

6. The team demonstrated consistently high detail orientation for text and images,
high independence, minimal wasted effort and clean-up, and high resourcefulness
in challenges such as figuring out how to build learning activities right into the self-
directed learning modules - - a first. (Problem-Solving)

Describe in detail the individual's or team's notable behaviors.
The team experimented and figured out a "first": that is, how to integrate hands-on
learning activities directly into and alongside the teaching content, rather than
deliver those learning activities later, after course completion. Here's how:
