Presentation Transcript

  1. The Timing of Training Plenty of time and energy is spent in talent development pondering answers to the: “Who?” “What?” “Why?” “Where?” and “How?” questions of training, but the question of “When?” is often limited to one answer: “Whenever time permits.”

  2. The Timing of Training The strategic element of timing in training is more nuanced than “Whenever”, and can lead to significant gains in return on investment if planned properly. To quickly accelerate employee performance, training programs must offer strategic blended learning interventions at key points in time in order to decrease the learning curve.

  3. Part 2: Information Overload

  4. Enough is Enough The anxiety of the first part of the learning curve spurs us on to learn a large amount of new information, especially in a new field or company. After being exposed to all this information, eventually enough is enough.

  6. Information Overload cannot be completely avoided. But there are ways to ensure that this section of the learning curve can be shrunken and performance can be accelerated.
