I had the pleasure to see Wick and Jefferson speak at the 2011 ASTD conference. This is where I first heard about the dismal success rate in regards to training. Since I am an instructional technologist responsible for conducting training on various topics, what Wick and Jefferson spoke about certainly resonated with me. As a result, I purchased their book. The book goes in much more detail about what trainers can do about improving learning transfer, and it will be within my arms reach as I prepare upcoming courses.

Terrence Donahue, Director of Corporate Training and Development at Emerson, spoke at an ATD breakout session about the CFO collaborating with him and his training team to deliver learning outcomes that moved the needle for the business.
Donahue worked with the executives at his company to identify the business outcomes, not the learning objectives, very specifically, Emerson lead a conversation with executives about the following two topics:
After the class, learners had 12 weeks set to implement the learnings. They also discussed how the learning could be implemented with their team and manager. And expectations connected to real business milestones were set for individuals.
The best part? After executives saw the business impact, they returned to Donahue with additional resources (read: money) to create more training programs just like the one he built. They also brought Donahue to the table about future strategic initiatives and how to apply learnings to help the business achieve its goals. 041b061a72
