Custom Training Design, Development, & Delivery

The Business and Learning Connection: Intersection of business and training - building the capability to achieve business goals. Training can accelerate the performance of an organization by enabling its people to adopt new concepts, new actions and new behaviors that are required by the business strategy. Training is the vehicle by which a company’s people come to understand and believe in its strategy and learn to think and behave in ways that will make the strategy win in the marketplace.

Clients that use Dave Basarab Consulting custom learning solutions come to understand and believe in our recommended strategy, and make the strategy win in the marketplace. Our approach has been proven again and again through client successes. We design our programs to create the right Intentions (goals and beliefs) and Adoptive Behaviors that drive business results (Impact). The outcome is that people learn to think and behave in new ways, maximizing business success across all areas of the entire organization.

Success Stories

What's distinctive and noteworthy about Predictive Evaluation is that it does take training evaluation to the "next level" that even Donald and James Kirkpatrick acknowledge in the Foreword of the book. For example, it adds the element of prediction and how to determine and make future training and evaluation investments. PE moves training evaluation from "activity based measures" to "value driven continuous improvement efforts" that ensure training investments provide their predicted value. It also involves training participants rather than leaving the training and evaluation planning to training and business leaders.

I particularly like how Dave strives to run training and evaluation like any other business function, and adhere to sound business practices. Training in PE, for example collects evaluation data to judge progress toward meeting business objectives and plans, and predicts (forecasts) training's contribution to those objectives and plans. Data is collected early and often according to defined success goals, and corrections are made at any point to improve or strengthen training.
