Where Is the Training Path Leading?
4 October 2019
ATD recently shared a list of the Top 20 eLearning Statistics to Know for 2019. The figures show companies are investing in training and eLearning. Those companies who are cognizant of their investment receive the dividends with employee growth and retention. Thinking about this, how could training programs be improved? As training leaders, we understand that programs which stay the same or rely on the status quo – slowly atrophy. What is the answer?
Discovering the Answer
Unfortunately, there is not a map with a big, red X that will lead you to the answer. Every training program’s answer or solution(s) is specific to their organization. Because organizational culture and training lead to learner needs, the training managers must consider the questions before searching for answers. Looking at some possible training topics, here are a few potential ideas for questions.
Possible Areas to Question
- Did the safety training impact the incidents?
- Does more or type of sales training impact revenue?
- Does communication or other soft skills training impact customer satisfaction?
Advanced AI Learner Analytics Tool (AAILAT)
Based on the question(s), our team will gather an organizations ‘structured’ and ‘unstructured’ data to search for commonalities and patterns. Our AAILAT will provide access, exploration, summary, analysis, and interaction capabilities. This leads to the discovery of missed conclusions and data points.
Our team pairs the AAILAT with our Training Evaluation Benefits Report (TEBR) which provides a summary of the conclusions, data points, insights of learners needs and recommendations for future training goals or objectives. The TEBR will be provided monthly, quarterly, and annually to training managers.
Final Thoughts
The customized AAILAT will remain flexible and cost-effective for organizations. We offer two demo videos. The first is more descriptive (less than 3 minutes) of the AAILAT. The second provides only a high level overview taking less than a minute.
