Learning Resources:
  • Getting Value From Training - Get Some ROI (Return On Investment)

    All too often, potential benefits from training seminars are lost because the supports required for the application of learning are absent. And let's face it -- nobody can afford to send people for training just for the fun of it. We all expect that training will somehow impact upon a person's present or future ability to contribute to the employing organization. How do we "make it so"?
  • Coaching Learn About Coaching

    If you are a coach you are charged with teaching and training individuals who trust your expertise. Learn theories regarding adult learning and education. If you are designated as a trainer, no doubt you think of yourself as a coach. The material presented here for you will help you enhance your coaching and training skills.
  • TRAINING - UGH! What Is It Good For...Absolutely...?

    There are good reasons to mandate training and development in your organization, and there are bad reasons for mandating training. There are ALSO good reasons for NOT training, in some circumstances, and bad reasons to refuse. Knowing what training can and cannot accomplish enables you to make the right decisions at the right time, ensuring that your limited training dollars are used effectively.
  • Danger! Corporate Training Initiative Ahead 

    On occasion I come across organizations that feel that they must set up training programs to meet some identified (or ill-identified) corporate need. Whether it is sexual harassment programs, multi-cultural interventions, or any other topic, these across organization programs tend to be top-down driven. That means that the impetus for training comes from senior executives or management, sometimes in conjunction with human resource units.
  • A Simple But Powerful Training Model For Trainers

    The following model was originally developed by the late Michael Orme, an expert practitioner and researcher in the area of training effectiveness, and training of trainers and teachers. It is, on the surface, easy to understand, but it has significant depth and complexity beneath it, being based on learning theories such as Bandura's Social Learning Theory. Like all instructional models, it can be augmented by understanding other models.
  • Strategic Learning Contracts - Maximizing Training

    Tom Peters once spoke of a sausage company in the U.S. that determined pay scales, in part by the amount of new things that staff learned. So, when a sausage assembly line worker learned something about accounting, that was five bucks an hour more on the paycheque. It's great to be able to have the luxury to do things like that. However, the closest we in government are going to get to such schemes is to eat the sausage made by the person who got the extra five bucks.
