30 on Thursday – 10 Reasons to “Train to Ingrain”
10 Reasons to “Train to Ingrain”   Train-to-Ingrain isn’t a single program, event or intervention. It’s a new contextual framework for conducting such programs. It’s an ongoing process in which efforts to ingrain new skills and improve an individual’s performance become a routine aspect of work. Why make the effort?   Make Your Training Stick! The ultimate goal of training and development has always been to achieve permanent, measurable improvements in performance that have a positive impact on business results – so help it happen because for decades training has been an event that only through random luck positively affected business results! Experts say the issue typically isn’t with the training and development programs themselves, but with their context—the activities and practices that happen before, during and afterwards. The central problem is INADEQUATE FOLLOW-UP REINFORCEMENT of the skills introduced in training. With Train to Ingrain… COMMITMENT is forged and demonstrated by senior management, the participant and the direct manager to support follow-up reinforcement COACHING proficiency develops with direct managers who become more involved in their development role FOLLOW-UP is improved for learners by integrating reinforcement programs with assessment and training programs ACCOUNTABILITY is developed through measurement of performance improvement and a calculated ROI TRAINING of TRANSFER is ensured by incorporating learning strategies that promote application and reinforcement of skills LEARNING NETWORKS are created to coordinate support for the learner Your FOCUS is narrowed by identifying the training needs that will have a positive impact on business results Your CULTURE evolves by aligning the organization’s policies and practices to support performance improvement		What You Will Learn in This Session How to realize a return on your training investment in terms of improved business results How the Train to Ingrain process works How to get a quick start with the process The importance of the role of the direct manager, the participant and the learner The criticality of reinforcement post-training How this strategy links to our two previous 30 on Thursdays: Leadership Series and Measuring Effectiveness   Join Us Register here     In preparation for the call view a 3-minute movie that will describe how to measure the success of your training programs     Where Do You Start with Train to Ingrain?  To achieve positive results as soon as possible, the best approach is to get started quickly by doing three things, which can be accomplished in a very short period of time: Acquire integrated assessment and training technologies that support ongoing skill reinforcement. Involve direct managers in the learning process. Define their staff development responsibilities and hold them accountable. Measure performance improvement. Assess skill areas before and after learning to establish developmental goals and accountability.
