Essentials of Learning Transfer
Cal Wick, Chairman, Fort Hill Company
Member Fee: $395
Nonmember Fee: $695
Learning, no matter how good, only has value when it is transferred and applied well in work. In this online workshop, participants will learn and put into practice the six disciplines that are guaranteed to cause learning programs to deliver on-the-job results. The workshop provides tools and job-aid handouts that participants can apply on the job immediately. To practice what we preach, each attendee will be expected to bring either a new program they are designing or a current program they want to improve, which will become their personal case study during the three-week workshop. By the end of the program, participants will be able to document the improvements they have made and the more valuable results they will deliver to their business or client.
Audience:
Those who have responsibility for the design and/or delivery of learning initiatives that are important to the success of a business or organization. Workshop participants and their organizations should have a strong desire for learning to deliver valuable workplace results.
By the end of this program, you will have:
· Understood the disciplines that most cause learning transfer to happen.
· Applied these disciplines to an important learning program.
· Increased the value your learning program will deliver.

Cal Wick is the Founder and Chairman of Fort Hill Company and a nationally-recognized consultant, educator and researcher on improving the performance of managers and organizations. He was named “Thought Leader of the Year” by ISA, the Association of Learning Providers, in 2006. Cal is co-author of the highly-acclaimed Six Disciplines of Breakthrough Learning: How to Turn Training and Development into Business Results (Pfeiffer, 2006).
Cal’s research led to the concept of Follow-Through Management® and the development of web-based Follow-Through Tools® that improve results by increasing learning transfer and application. Cal recognized that the finish line for learning and development programs is no longer the last day of class, but rather months later when improved personal and business outcomes can be measured. This new finish line is becoming the standard of the learning industry.
The tools that Cal developed have been used by more than 80,000 leaders in companies from Pfizer and Oracle to Bank of America and Agilent, as well as leading business schools and training organizations. In 2005, the Center for Creative Leadership adopted Fort Hill’s Friday5s® as a core part of their flagship Leadership Development Program (LDP)®.
