Anticipate with Awareness & Analysis
In the traditional ADDIE process, A stands for Analysis. It's generally understood to be the initial step to properly determine what's driving the need for producing a learning solution. Often the analysis concerns itself with tangible factors and reasons, such as hard performance and productivity metrics.
In the APPIE Process, we've thrown in an additional A into the mix for Awareness! Why is this? Well, as we know, we all learned a lot in 2020, especially about the importance of listening to and tapping our tacit knowing about the intangible aspects influencing our growth to respond to and manage uncertain times. This helps us tune into what we value and how we align with what others value and need as well.
When you bring your tacit awareness into your analysis, you create solutions that both resonate with your audience and respond to their needs. You name and claim your Value+Add©.

Prepare Your Proof of Concept
In the traditional ADDIE model, the second stage, D for Design, is all about outlining the content and approach you plan to take so you can jump into the next stage, D for Development. That's all well-n-good, except it eclipses a very important opportunity. You miss vetting your idea with your audience before you go to the lengths of producing it. In the APPIE Process, that's why the second phase is all about creating a Proof-of Concept - POC first.
A POC lets your audience know how you've gathered all your data points, reflecting their needs. It shows them you care about being in contact with them as well. This is ever so important with transformational learning because it hinges upon the relationships you can and want to make to earn their trust.
This important opportunity helps build your audience's interest in your brand, which will later support their investment in your business.

Produce Your Solutions with Passion
Not unlike the traditional ADDIE process, the third stage of the APPIE Process is all about producing your solutions. But where we differ is around providing value right up front.
In this stage, we look at everything you've laid out and identify a portion that you can quickly prototype and pilot. Why? This approach shows you are breaking ground, innovating quickly and committed to helping address your audience's emerging needs with a portion of your program they can benefit from ASAP.
This demonstrates your flexibility and investment in their input as well. When you can connect with their appreciation for your prototype, you'll also gain a lot more passion for production of your full solution.
We then look at how you can produce your solution in iterations of readiness, to support quicker access and availability as well. (Who's got time or interest in waterfall development anymore!)

Invite & Implement with Inspiration
Long gone are the days when you can just implement your learning solution and expect people take it... simply because you either told them they should or because you made it available! Due to the demand for digital learning, the number of solutions is growing exponentially! The impact: What sets your solution apart from the others isn't just your content. IT'S YOU, the content creator.
So, how do you get noticed? How do you command attention? By inviting your audience to YOUR TABLE on a regular basis throughout the process of developing your solution. This is what truly sets APPIE apart from ADDIE. It recognizes that your solutions are dependent on the relationship you make with your audience. Learning is a collaborative and dynamic process.
For this reason, the fourth stage of APPIE process is about building your Circle of Influence to inspire participation in your solution..

Evaluate with Ease & Enthusiasm
Do you know what stage is most overlooked in the ADDIE process? That's right E, for Evaluation. Everyone gets all excited about the first four stages, but they tend to eclipse the last.
In the APPIE Process, we pay extra attention to this last stage for an essential reason: You want to know the value your solution is providing. And, we're not just talking about the ROI, but also the ROE - rate of expectation. Without fully engaging in the last stage, you miss important data points that influence future solutions.
Thankfully, today's hosting platforms make it so much easier to collect data on key questions such as where, when and how your audience became interested and invested in your solution and how much have that participated in it. Equally so, you can tell where/when they fell off and lost interest!
