Presentation Transcript

  1. The Timing of Training Plenty of time and energy is spent in talent development pondering answers to the: “Who?” “What?” “Why?” “Where?” and “How?” questions of training, but the question of “When?” is often limited to one answer: “Whenever time permits.”

  2. The Timing of Training The strategic element of timing in training is more nuanced than “Whenever”, and can lead to significant gains in return on investment if planned properly.

  3. Part 6: Structured vs. On-Demand Learning

  4. A central premise of the learning curve framework is that the training program is well-structured and planned out in advance: the program’s budget, timelines, content, personnel, and administration are all accounted for at the outset.

  5. The Advantages of Structure Using a structured approach lets managers maintain control over the training program, evaluate its effectiveness, and budget for it. Structured training programs like those that employ the learning curve framework are good to use for training employees on key performance indicators and mission-critical competencies.

  6. Over-Kill? However, developing a structured learning curve and blended learning strategy for one-off training programs targeting a small handful of employees might be overkill.

  7. When To Use STRUCTURE

  8. Use The Structured Learning Curve Approach For These Areas: • Employee Onboarding • Long-Term Leadership Development • Sales Enablement • Call Center Training • Compliance and Regulatory Training • Technical Skill Development

  9. When To Use On-Demand An on-demand, unstructured learning approach including a library of self-paced e-learning, performance support tools, and instructor-led courses that can be offered on an ad hoc basis is recommended for training requirements that are more fleeting in nature.

  10. On-Demand Learning Resources Are a Vital Component of Any World-Class Learning Ecosystem.
