New framework and criteria for delivering maximum impact on training and development programs
What is wrong with traditional training and development programs. I believe the following is so true:
·         Focus too much in transferring knowledge
·         Training are often not action oriented
·         Often out of touch with the real world of business
·         Case studies are not real life
·         Most programs are rigid
·         Traditional classroom training are boring
·         Training are still too much functional and not interdisciplinary



My Core Beliefs and  approaches to learning
·         Learning is a process, not an event
·         Learning should address impact
·         Learning occurs through individual insight
·         Work learning is life learning
·         Multiple-methods to meet multiple- needs
My best learning methods The LAT approach
·         Discovery learning- Bring the learner to the knowledge not the knowledge to the learner
·         Behavioural feedback and modeling- Honest and reliable feedback
·         Experiential learning
·         Stories
·         Application-based learning
·         Coaching
·         Learning transfer technology: Stop; Maintain and initiate
