I agree with defining the goals first. If you don’t know what you want to achieve, how can you plan the rest? It feels like a foundational step.

I feel like specifying the skills is important too, but it might come after setting the goals. I just can’t remember the exact order we discussed.

I'm not so sure about that. I remember a practice question where determining the scope was emphasized first. Maybe that’s what we should focus on?

I'm a little confused by the wording of this question. Is it asking about the first step in the overall strategy, or just the learning plan? I'll need to re-read it a few times to make sure I understand.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. Should I focus on the scope of the learning plan or the specific skills to be developed? I'll need to think this through carefully.

I'm just picturing the TD professional trying to figure this out and then suddenly realizing they forgot to factor in the mandatory company-wide trust fall session. Rookie mistake!

Wait, there's no option for 'hire a professional event planner to handle this whole mess'? That's my go-to move for any organizational strategy.

Hmm, I'm not so sure. Wouldn't it make more sense to figure out the skills that need to be developed before deciding on the scope? Seems a bit backwards to me.
