How to Ensure Your Training Has Impact

Have you ever wondered why people are so reticent to attend training events? Or why the training didn’t get the results that you expected? It might be that the initial feedback was good, but no real change or improvements have happened or they are just short-lived.   A superficial evaluation may lead you to believe that it’s because the training content wasn’t good enough, or the trainers lacked rapport, or maybe the food at the venue just didn’t live up to the cordon bleu tastes of your delegates. Possible? 

Dave Winkler, HR Director at Imtech once said to us, “It’s easy to go on a course. You have all the best intentions in the world.  But, other things take over.”  This got us thinking, what makes our coaching development programmes really stick?

A more probable reason for training ineffectiveness, is that there is no IMPACT on the individual or the organisation.  At Notion, IMPACT is paramount.  We start and finish with a clear focus on a return on investment which is notable and measurable.  The way in which we achieve this is by ensuring learning is embedded, and that change occurs, and is translated into clear and tangible results.  When people experience a tangible shift both personally and professionally and that shift is recognised in both soft and hard measures by the organisation, we believe that they become more engaged and more invested in their personal growth. So, how can you ensure your training has IMPACT?
