Is your instructional design function equipped to deliver scalable, high-quality learning experiences?
This practical assessment tool was built specifically for Learning and HR leaders to evaluate the capability, depth, and scalability of their instructional design teams.
The Instructional Design Capability Assessment guides you through a structured evaluation of your team’s performance across five key dimensions:
Expertise and Credentials
Modalities and Methods
Design Quality and Standards
Learner Engagement
Scalability and Efficiency
Each section includes targeted questions to help you identify current strengths, capability gaps, and opportunities for greater impact.
This assessment is simple to complete and effective in sparking meaningful conversations with your stakeholders. For each question, mark “Yes” or “No” based on your current capabilities. Assign 1 point for each “Yes” response. Once finished, refer to the scoring guide to interpret your results and determine next steps.

Build a roadmap for scaling your learning function
Instructional design is more than content creation—it’s the foundation for building learning that drives business performance. Teams that operate with clear standards, strong processes, and scalable tools are better positioned to support organizational growth. This assessment helps you uncover how your team measures up—and where to go next.
