Harvard ManageMentor is an online learning and performance support resource for leadership and management skill development and Corporate Learning’s flagship offering. Used on millions of desktops around the globe, the program provides quality content from world-class experts, videos, and tools to provide both just-in-time performance support, as well as prescriptive learning and development programs that engage and motivate learners. The whole offering includes 40 business topics that correspond to three key themes; Leading Yourself, Leading Others, and Leading the Business.
In 2012, the Product Development team embarked on a complete redesign of the then-current version of Harvard ManageMentor, which launched in September 2014. Along with an improved design and user experience, we conducted a complete editorial overhaul that included rewriting all 40 topics in the program. I wrote six complete topics for the project. The course's content is broken up by lessons which are driven by a performance goal. These small blocks of content allow learners to consume the lesson and apply it immediately on the job.
I was also responsible for curating videos and relevant outside articles to compliment the content. Each writer/editor team was responsible for their entire topic. I worked closely with our User Experience team to help design and map engaging infographics to the main content. In the end, a completed manuscript for a given topic was roughly 40 pages.
