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.

Request Dave as a Speaker

I'm pleased to share that an article I wrote spotlighting the Predictive Evaluation (PE) Model is in the March 2011 issue of the prestigious Performance Improvement Journal . As an evaluator and training leader, being spotlighted in Performance Improvement Journal is an honor, as it's a premier resource for practitioners of performance technology in the workplace.

Topic: Learning & Development: The Profession

In this segment Dave answers the following key questions and introduces Learning Bursts as new and unique way to learn.

• What strategies do you personally employ to stay in front of the curve in the L&D profession?
• What advice would you give to someone as a new L&D professional and how to progress in the field?
• What new skills are required in your profession that are different from 5 years ago? Similarly, what new skills do you anticipate needing over the next 2 to 3 years?
• What is your view of L&D certifications (e.g., CPLP, CPT, etc.)? Are they important to getting hired or progressing in the industry? Why?
