Corporate Training is often boring, disconnected and inefficient.

1. Help employees clearly understand what training programs can speed up their career

progress in their desired direction.

2. Setup a training portal for employees to take training anytime, anywhere. Traveling to

learn is so 20th century.

3. Recognize completion of training. Place incentives for successful outcomes.

4. Make training a continuous process. Train, Practice, Challenge and evaluate at each step.

5. Focus a lot on mentoring as a part of training. Training plans should be driven by

the mentors.

6. Focus on the execution after the learning. Most training programs are disconnected fro

day-to-day tasks.

7. Develop a culture of learning. Making training as a priority right from the top.
