All are welcome to our 2nd Friday of the month Coffee Chats!
Speaker: Todd Hudson, Maverick Institute, Inc.
Topic: Three Reasons Why Training Fails at Change Management
In today’s chaotic world, success – or even survival – depends on a company’s ability to seize opportunities and respond to threats. Every new situation presents a tight window of time to act.
Training organizations should be vital contributors to these efforts, but instead are often out of the loop and the last to know about upcoming changes. Even worse, studies show that 80% of training activities do NOT accelerate the understanding of new ideas and practices!
How well aligned is your L&D organization with changes at your company? Are they leading the charge, barely keeping up or woefully behind? How effective are they at getting employees at all levels to adopt new thinking and behaviors?
Tune in and learn about the three key assumptions and practices that cause L&D organizations to flounder. You’ll also hear how they can re-orient their priorities and methods to help drive successful change.
