For many
years the attitude has prevailed, "If we train the they will change".
This has not proven to be true since we have found that fewer
than 10% of most "trainees" even use what they have learned in
training within 45 days after completion of the training.
We prefer
to say, "If we coach them, they will improve". The simple truth
is that training without a coach to help users implement what
they have learned in the field is a poor investment of time and
resources. Line managers have traditionally been held responsible
for the implementation of training methodologies, but they have
neither the time nor the mandate to perform this function. In
addition, they usually know no more than the users themselves.
Coaching
Intensive Training© was designed to alleviate the most
distressing enigma of training - the fact that people don't use
what they have learned. This approach does this by creating a
fundamental change in the training process which puts the responsibility
on the trainer to insure that what is learned in the classroom
is implemented in the field. (Click

on this website).
This
document is a simple line item comparison between the benefits
of Coaching Intensive Training© and traditional
Instructor Led Training.
