The unfocused area of learning

I was talking to someone today and the person asked, "what do you think needs to be done by learning and training people to move to the next level?"

I thought about it and replied "You know, learning people have developed expertise on how to make the 2-3 days of learning programs effective. However, the critical factors to making improvements in performance is what happens prior to the program and what happens after that."
If learning people really have to develop effectiveness they need to look beyond the program and focus on the process :-)

  1. I agree completely.

    Although the learning experience is important, if we Learning folk forget to look at the post-training experience, we are headed for failure. The same goes for OD folk who may fixate on the intervention, but forget to plan for the follow-up.
