Strategic Learning Strategy & Curriculum Creation
Learning is an economic elixir. It makes people and organizations more adaptable, responsive and nimble. It serves as the bedrock for innovation, as it’s impossible to innovate without learning something new. It’s the foundation for extraordinary customer service, employee attraction, retention, and development and is the fuel for profitable growth. It can shape culture. And when it’s done right, it’s one of those rarest opportunities – where employers’ and employees’ needs are in perfect harmony. In the vast majority of cases, it offers significant benefits for both employers and employees. In this session, Dave Basarab teaches you how to have the right learning strategy that will increase your organization’s ability to create value.
Training Transfer
Only 10-15% of training skills are successfully transferred to the job which means that we run our training factories at an 85-90% defect rate. Companies would go out of business if their products had such a defect rate. The good news is that this can be corrected so that organizations increase their transfer rate to 70% or more. Dave Basarab can tell you how. In this session Dave will talk describe proven techniques for increasing the transfer of training from the learning experience to back on-the-job participants successfully implementing and integrating skill’s learned in training into their work behavior.
Predictive Evaluation
At last, an answer to the question that had bedeviled trainers for decades: how do you make the business case for training? In this session, Dave Basarab talks about how Predictive Evaluation works and how it will greatly enhance the acceptance of training as a business function - one where projections are made, progress is measured, and effectiveness is determined. Rather than being regarded as an expense and an act of faith, training is seen as an investment with a concrete payoff. Predictive Evaluation enables you to effectively and accurately forecast training’s value to your company, measure against these predictions, establish indicators to track your progress (and make mid-course corrections if needed) and report the results in a language that business executives respond to and understand. It’s an approach that can be used for any sort of training program, in any setting, whether planned, newly implemented, or long-established.
