Creating Learning Results - Not Training Events
How would you like to get a 30-70% greater return for your training investments?
There are many factors that contribute to successful transfer of training and learning back to the job. Unfortunately, only some of them can be influenced by the trainer and the training itself.

"Kevin's impact on the skill level of our employees has been substantial and enduring, long after he's gone. The outcome - Learners who learn, and learn willingly - and results for the organization!"
- Janice Beer, Director of Human Resources Chevron Canada Ltd.

We believe in the work of John Newstrom and Mary Broad described in the book Transfer of Training.
They looked at the three parties involved in a learning event:
- the learner
- the trainer
- the learner's manager
and three time intervals
- before training
- during training
- after training
and they found that the key factors in making learning stick are as follows:
(1 being highest, 9 being lowest factor)
| |
Before |
During |
After |
| Learner |
7 |
5 |
6 |
| Trainer |
2
|
4
|
9 |
| Manager |
1 |
8 |
3 |
This says that the three most important components in this important equation of training transfer (and therefore a much higher chance for return on investment) are:
1. the manager's role prior to the training
2. the trainer's role prior to training
3. the manager's role after training
We help you design learning processes that take these critical factors into account. We also help you look at your learning needs more broadly than a training class.
How We Operate
We bring a perspective and expertise that is broader than, "let's design training". We work with your existing training or with brand new initiatives to build processes, content and support mechanisms to make the training have real lasting results in the organization. After all, if you don't want your training to change something (for the better) why are you doing it at all?
What Does All This Mean?
It means that we will help you blend learning into the workplace by designing processes that will work in your situation. We use tools like:
- Performance support tools
- Online support
- Pre and post class support
- Coaching and support for managers
- And many other tools
