Without the kind of follow-up you describe, there is no real value being produced by training. You got right to the heart of the matter. I hope my blog entry provided some ideas that might help persuade managers and supervisors to undertake that follow-up. Otherwise, it's kind of like buying a fancy sports car, but putting the cheapest, bargain-basement tires on it. I agree with you Denny.

But it's all talk if the participants, a year later, are not doing what they were taught in training. And that's what happens most of the time. Because organizations don't have a systematic program of follow-through that reinforces, encourages, and coaches the desired behaviors - for several months - until they are ingrained as work habits. So the real question is, what's being done to ingrain what was introduced in training? It’s good to talk to clients about the bottom line, the benefits, the return on investment.
