Learning, no matter how well designed and delivered, only has value when it is transferred and applied well back on the job. In this online program, you will learn and put into practice the six disciplines that are guaranteed to cause your learning programs to deliver on-the-job results. You will also learn to transform learning from an event into a process (whether instructor led or eLearning), how to scale learning transfer, and how to engage the managers of your participants so they become an extension of your learning organization.

To practice what we preach about learning transfer that produces business results, this program will provide you with tools and processes that you can apply immediately in your work. By the end of the program, you will be well prepared to take improvement actions on the most important learning programs for which you are responsible. You will leave the session with easy access to additional resources you can call on, so you can better improve the workplace results you deliver.  

Audience
