Session Description:
One-hit wonders and check-the-box training events: What do they have in common? Lack of sustainability and limited impact. Development is a process, not a single event or random collection of training events. Drive behavioral change in your organization with sustainability processes that stretch your training dollars, protect your investment, and develop your employees. Create valuable processes to drive behavioral change throughout your organization, engage employees and create a learning culture that extends beyond knowing to doing, long after the training program has ended. Learn how to move beyond theory and gain practical implementation ideas from four organizations who are stretching their training budgets and have bridged the gap from training to sustaining behavioral change on the job.
Learner Objectives:
- Determine practical strategies to overcome complex issues which typically block the transfer from knowing (Training) to doing (sustained, on-the-job application of skills gained through training).
- Gain more value and sustained impact from your training investments.
- From four organizational examples, learn implementable strategies and practical ideas for preparing your own training sustainability action plans.
