Feature #1
TRAIN TO INGRAIN – What Is It?
Fact: Training and development programs only rarely change the behavior of the people who attend them.
Fact: As a result, most of the tens of billions of dollars invested each year in these programs fail to produce lasting changes in workplace performance or have a positive impact on business results.
Built upon decades of cognitive neuroscience research, TRAIN TO INGRAIN is a new commonsense, reinforcement-intensive approach to leader development that effectively stimulates brain cells to make new connections, thus forming new neural networks. New work habits and skills replace old behavior patterns. The key is a unique five-phase methodology:
TRAIN TO INGRAIN: The Reality-Based Solution
The problem(The Plain Truth About Your Pain) is that well over 90% of training and development programs don't result in improved workplace performance. This makes it nearly impossible for a typical training program to have a positive impact on business results or improve the bottom line.
The explanation (The Scientific Explanation) is that a training course can’t possibly contain enough practice and reinforcement to produce lasting changes in on-the-job behavior. A great deal of practice and repetition is needed to ingrain skills. This kind of reinforcement can only take place during a period of months after training, during day-to-day performance on the job.
This means that everyone who influences workplace performance has to get involved, not just trainers and learners. Because the learners’ managers have so much to do with what direct reports do and how they do it, managers have a major impact on whether new skills will be ingrained. Even senior managers have a role, because they control the environment—whether the system is compatible with the new skills or is in conflict with them.
TRAIN TO INGRAIN is a commonsense training and development methodology created with these practical realities in mind. It's a reinforcement-centered integrated approach that engages all the key players to focus programs and learners on closing performance gaps that impact on business results. To be fully effective, the training and development process should have five phases.

Feature #2
Part 4 of 5 on Reinforcement of Training
For the past three months, we’ve focused on an issue most organizations face: making your training count – how to get beyond the smile sheets that “evaluate” the training event and actually transfer skills & knowledge to the workplace!
This is not an easy task because more is involved than attending a classroom or online event – post-training reinforcement is vitally important.
Here are the first three articles in the series; Part 4 follows.
