managerial approval. The signatures on the Training Outline
satisfy these needs.
5.4 Conclusion
The Design phase of the program improvement model is the
occasion for a carefully planned approach to addressing a
problem or performance gap identifi ed in the Analysis phase.
This planned approach includes fi tting the proposed program
into the larger programmatic framework; it involves outlining
the program in terms of a systematic template, the Training
Program Outline; and it includes the need for securing
management approval of the outlined program.
When the proposed program has moved through the
Design phase, it is ready for the Development phase where
training materials and assessment materials are developed to
address the problem or performance gap.

2. See D. Zielinski's (2005) discussion of “blended learning
models.” See also Harvey Singh (2003). As B. Hall
and J. LeCavalier (2000) put it: “Across a range of
industries, the emerging best practices model is a highly
compatible 'ménage à trois' uniting online learning for
information transfer and procedural skill acquisition
(often this constitutes pre-work for the next tier of the
model), classroom or other site-based learning for
higher order competencies, and SOJT learning,
integrated with knowledge management and competency
evaluation.”
