Infos

Instructional designers and other training professionals are often forced into order-taking roles. The company wants training on a specific topic—business writing, behavioral interviewing, customer service—and a one-size-fits-all module is produced.

Training That Delivers Results offers a far better way to educate employees, one that connects learning solutions with strategic business goals. Rather than being told what to teach, proactive designers collect data to define problems and develop training interventions. Written by one of the originators of computer-based training, Handshaw's results-oriented model is systematic, yet flexible, and works for both instructor-led training and e-learning. Readers will learn how to:

Analyze performance gaps

Create targeted performance objectives and connect them with the right measurement tools

Determine the best instructional strategy and the appropriate media

Build consensus with project blueprint meetings

Evaluate the effectiveness of training and use the data to continually improve.

Learning goals and business goals should go hand in hand. Here are the tools, worksheets, and assessments needed to tie the learning experience to enhanced performance outcomes—and deliver sustainable, quantifiable business results.

This book offers a far better way to educate employees, one that connects learning solutions with strategic business goals.When companies recognize the need for training in a specific topic, they often apply the same standard instruction they utilized the last time they addressed a need for training--which was in a completely different area! However, a one-size-fits-all approaches rarely work anywhere, especially in the professional world. With more than 30 years of experience as a learning and performance improvement professional, author Dick Handshaw proposes that organizations cannot simply tell their trainers what to teach but rather they need to proactively collect data to define problems and develop unique training interventions. Handshaw's results-oriented model is systematic, yet flexible, and works for both instructor-led training and e-learning.In Training That Delivers Results, you will learn how to:Analyze performance gapsCreate targeted performance objectives and connect them with the right measurement toolsDetermine the best instructional strategy and the appropriate mediaBuild consensus with project blueprint meetingsEvaluate the effectiveness of training and use the data to continually improveTraining will not be effective and beneficial in sustaining, rewarding ways unless the employee education experience is successfully linked with the overall business goals. Training That Delivers Results supplies the tools, worksheets, and assessments needed to tie the learning experience to enhanced performance outcomes--and deliver sustainable, quantifiable business results.
