At Dave Basarab Consulting, we’re experts in creating Enterprise Learning Plans.  We work with you to develop your company’s learning strategy and direction, and help you make decisions about allocating financial and staff resources to pursue this strategy.

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.

Learning investments require a long-term focus and an ability to balance the tradeoffs between profits today for greater returns in the future.  In short, having the right learning strategy will increase an organization’s ability to create value.

Learning to Performance

Learning to Performance, a complete training approach, gives companies world-class training to drive significant return. This approach includes upfront work (Impact Mapping, design), training (for staff and company executives), and post-training efforts to ensure training transfer. This unique recipe - the key for successful training and adoption - is changing the way companies implement training. This methodology could work with any content for organizations in any industry.

Benefits of Predictive Evaluation

Predictive Evaluation (PE) allows you to predict (forecast) training’s value to the company, measure against those predictions, use leading indicators to ensure that you’re on track, and report in a business format that executives easily understand. Additionally, you can interweave outcomes and leading indicators into training assessment during the design and delivery and move from an event-driven function to one that predicts training effectiveness, measures its performance against those predictions, and is seen as returning significant shareholder value for the funds invested.

However, the greatest strength of the PE approach is not about how it’s communicated to the executives, or the tools, or the results, but rather how it requires participation of the supervisors and the employees in setting their own intentions and measurement of adoption . The approach treats the employees as adults owning their learning versus students “just going through the motions” and being measured by someone else.

The key components of the PE approach are the:

  • Training program
  • Evaluating training outcomes
  • Prediction of value
  • Intention (to use)
  • Adoption (actual use), and Impact (the results to the company).
