Is your L&D investment really making a difference?

No matter what industry you’re in, workplace learning is a vital part of progress. Not only for the success of your organisation, but for the development and wellbeing of your people…but research carried out on the transfer of workplace learning and evidence of any changes in the workplace, post training, shows that more than 80% of that learning is lost.

Seeing statistics like that, it’s no surprise that many Leaders and Managers – and the teams that they lead – feel like L&D is time (and investment) wasted! Have you ever experienced a training day, and the moment the learners leave the session they simply go ‘back to normal’, and continue to work, communicate and perform exactly as they were before the learning took place…

That’s why we do things differently!

For over 30 years we have seen clients, frustrated by a lack of impact from their previous workplace learning, looking for a different outcome. We know that Learning Transfer is the most important part of L&D: taking what’s learning and actually applying it in everyday work.

Every ASK programme is built around this learning transfer: our unique ‘Engage, Learn, Transfer’ methodology begins by getting to know your people: what skills do they have, and what skills would they like to develop? Making their learning personal to their needs means they are engaged in the process before learning even begins. The learning itself is tailored to your organisation – to your people, your goals, your desired outcomes, and how we help  you to get there. The final phase – and the most important – is to take that learning and practice it; apply it to real working experiences, and support that learning transfer until it becomes habit. Only by transferring what is learned can real, significant change and growth happen.  Learning transfer is the secret to actually seeing your people develop, and achieving their individual ambitions – as well as the goals you have as an organisation.
