Instructional Designers:

an instructional designer plays an integral part in allowing a business or organization to communicate effectively with the public and other stakeholders. In general, instructional design is the process that involves brainstorming strategies to meet a goal, and then implementing the strategies and altering them as needed to become more effective. 

1Create New Materials:An instructional designer is often responsible for the creation of new communications materials, such as a pamphlet, brochure, booklet, speech, presentation or magazine. For example, an instructional designer who works with a convention and visitors bureau might be the lead in creating a brochure that highlights an area's attractions. This includes overseeing the art, images, content, headline and graphics in the pamphlet as well as having a hand in choosing the kind of paper the pamphlet is printed on and where it will be distributed.

2Work With Various Groups:An instructional designer rarely has all of the skills needed to single-handedly make a solid product to promote an item or an idea. He must gain knowledge from others and implement the things he learns. He also must facilitate discussions and cooperation among the different groups working on a project. For example, an instructional designer who works for an engineering firm must bring engineers and content developers together to discuss the highlights of a new or existing product. The instructional designer must understand the limitations and strengths of several parties to understand how to create an item that will effectively communicate all relevant aspects of a product to the public or others.

3Implement and Achieve Goals:An instructional designer is expected to set goals that relate to the work being done in an organization and work with internal groups to implement them. Instructional designers are often in charge of gathering data and information needed to achieve goals and then sharing the information with other vested parties. The instructional designer is also responsible for assessing the successes a group or organization is having with accomplishing goals. He also provides feedback about ways the goals can more effectively be achieved.

 4Be a Persuasive Team Member:In addition to creating items to promote a company and its services, an instructional designer may be responsible for bringing about change in an organization. This change could come in the form of new processes and items, or the changes also might need to occur in a company's thought processes or problem-solving methods. In order to do this, an instructional designer must become an expert on the subject or item on which she is focusing her current efforts. The implementation of these changes sometimes comes from the top of an organization; however, an instructional designer may also need to create materials that help upper-level management change their opinions and processes.
