More Learning, Less Time: The Missing Key

Why is the most impactful part of training usually the first thing to be cut? The key to massively improving learning transfer from classroom (or screen) to on-the-job performance is realistic, context-specific “rehearsal.” And yes, you really can bring the best of the real world to your classroom or screen. I want participants to experience a radical inversion of how most people design training. Instead of starting with what learners need to know, they will start with what they need to do – in context! – to drive specific business results. Creating realistic ways to practice this becomes the top priority. 

Participants who attend the session will be able to:
1. Explicitly identify target behaviors a given training should produce & how they affect IRACIS (Increase Revenue, Avoid Costs, Improve Service).
2. Create “rehearsal opportunities” that mimic the most essential elements of the real-world context for the behaviors. 
 
This next great program is sponsored by ASTD and offered by Terri Cheney. Terri Cheney is the Lead Brain User of Connect! Learning Design, a consulting practice that applies current brain science to making workplace learning effective enough to drive a measurable difference in business performance. She has been intensely involved in ASTD-Twin Cities Chapter since 1996, which probably had a lot to do with why she was recruited to serve on the board of directors and ultimately as 2010 president of this second-largest chapter in the country.
