5 Steps to Increase Your Training's Impact

Good Morning. Bob Pike here. In my 35 year's of experience there are five critical things needed to increase the impact of training:

1. Make sure that the performance problem is really a lack of knowledge or skill (otherwise training can't impact it).

2. Examine the five other avenues that can increase performance impovement without doing any training at all (systems, policies, recruitment, placement, and coaching).

3. Make sure that your training is designed using techniques (there are at least 36) that work with how your participants really learn the best (hint: lecture probably isn't one of them!).

4. Build Powerful C.O.R.E. processes into your training design (Closers, Openers, Revisit (which is very different from review), and Energizer processes).

5. Build Powerful assessment processes (front end), evaluation (back end) and transfer processes (there are at least 155) into your design and delivery mechanisms.

The clock is ticking ...   
            

This September, a gathering of professionals is happening in Minneapolis. These people are committed to adding value and making a difference for people who want to go to the next level, are willing to confront, define, and tackle current problems, and realize that accelerating employee competence is an enormous competitive advantage. Are you ready to participate?

The Bob Pike Group's 13th Annual Conference is unique and extraordinary because:

• You will engage in the experience and discover tremendous possibilities for your own sessions; each presenter in every session models the methods, techniques, and skills - rather than lecturing on them.

• You will learn the instructor-led, participant-centered model from the creators -- and we practice it too.

• You will leave with strategies and tools you KNOW you can use immediately.

This conference is about providing you with focus and clarity. Focus is knowing what is going to drive the most value for you and your organization. Clarity is understanding all the aspects of the particular challenge so it can be resolved and eliminated.

There is still time to participate. Contact us today - and we will help you plan your experience. Being in the Minneapolis area the week of September 18-22, is the perfect opportunity for you to engage in something that will effectively change your training results immediately.
