OVERVIEW — Training 2.0 — Designing & Leading Experiential Training Programs

Providing Breakthrough Approaches to Impact & Accelerate Training in order to train and retain top talent and develop future leaders, has become a major concern and necessary competency for companies wanting to attract and retain top talent and keep the talent they already have in place. Establishing cultures that foster learning, coaching, and mentoring has become a focal point in order to leverage an organization’s greatest assets - their people.

A New Paradigm for 21st Century Training requires a new way of thinking about human learning, thinking beyond just facilitating content delivery and information packaging.

How do you get training to stick beyond a learning activity or training event? How do you design, develop and deliver programs that are relevant and timely, and that produce measurable results afterward? How do you get people to break out of their familiar or habitual ways of performing, to adopt new ways of being competent in the workplace?

Motivation, tips, and techniques are no longer sufficient for transferring knowledge and skills. Today’s technologies are providing a whole new way for exchanging information and communication that can provide real breakthroughs in the sustainability of training and developing your people.
