In
September, our speakers will be David
Cory and Robert Gilfoyle who will speak on the
How
Do We Get Learning and Development To Stick?
Research
consistently confirms what we intuitively know; the majority
of skills and knowledge learned during training are not transferred
to the job.
"No
more than 10% of training expenditures actually result in
transfer to the job" Baldwin & Ford (1988, 1997).
As
a consequence the return on an organization’s considerable
training and development investment is much lower than hoped
for.
The
implications for this situation are serious. At a time when
the business environment has never been more competitive,
organizations are missing out on a significant proportion
of the 'bottom-line' value highly trained employees could
deliver.
Come
hear David Cory and Robert Gilfoyle of Altia Performance Consulting
as they present:
- An
overview of the best research on transfer of training
- What
trainers and others have done to address this problem, and
the outcomes from their initiatives
- The
distinctive approach taken to this issue by those within
the Human Performance Technology field, and the progress
they have made
- The
latest web enabled technology that has been developed by
Jack Zenger and his colleagues to ensure trainee accountability
for implementing learned skills and managerial accountability
for monitoring post training skill implementation.
Prepare
for a fast-paced, content-rich, highly interactive session
with handouts and other take away materials.
