United States Training Industry• $134 BILLION spent in the U.S. in 2008
(ASTD)– Direct cost only; no trainee salaries/wages
included
• Only 10 – 30% results in changed job performance
2
$100 BILLION IS WASTED EVERY YEAR!

But it gets worse…..• Opportunity Cost:
– Research says return of 8:1 is reasonable for good training
• Add salaries and wages of trainees • Thus, the real cost is over
3
$1 TRILLION IS WASTED EVERY YEAR!

Put This Into Perspective
• U.S. government is spending this much to bail out all the banks and insurance companies
• Imagine what the loss is WORLDWIDE?• How can we tell our CEO’s that we waste 70-
90% of the money they invest?• Why can’t we do better?

Questions:
• How much training transfers into job performance in– Your organization?– Your country?
• Why are we content to accept such poor results?

The Future of Training
• Training is essential in the global knowledge economy
• But, if we can’t deliver transfer, then training is wasted
• The future of the training profession depends on solving this problem
• It’s time to get serious!!!!!

Learning Transfer System Inventory (LTSI)
• Measures 16 factors– barriers and catalysts to transfer– factors tied to ‘leverage points’’ which are
opportunities for intervention
• A diagnostic tool• An evaluative tool• Grounded in previous learning transfer
research

LTSI continued
• 5 point Likert response scale(strongly disagree to strongly agree)
• Scales– 11 for specific training program– 5 for training in general

Latest Developments
• Global validation study– 6,120 respondents– 17 countries (very diverse)– 14 different languages
• Scales work across cultures and languages

• Learning transfer is a universal problem• Factors affecting it have been confirmed
globally• Remarkable similarity in pattern of
responses around the world• No cultural differences detectable

1. Content Validity– Universally mediocre– Due to cost reductions to drive efficiency??
2. Transfer Design– Highly variable, but often mediocre
16
Leverage Points-Ability
Transfer Is Dead-On-ArrivalWithout These Two Factors

3. Personal Capacity– Often mediocre– Trainees are too overworked and stressed to
try new things– Increasing problem?
17
Leverage Points-Ability

• Generally motivation to transfer is good• However,
– While trainees report they can change their performance if they try…
– The link between changing their performance and positive outcomes is weak!
18
Leverage Points-Motivation

• Most serious issues are in these factors• Reflects:
– Lack of a systemic focus on learning– Over-emphasis on design and delivery– Silo nature of learning and development
departments
19
Leverage Points-Work Environment

1. Accountability– No consequences for NOT transferring– Few rewards for transfer
20
Leverage Points-Work Environment
If Transfer Doesn’t Matter Then Can We Blame Trainees?
![Page 21: Learning Transfer System Inventory research](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061209/548e0600b479592b618b484b/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

2. Supervisors-Two Patterns– Laissez-Faire
• No proactive support for transfer• No proactive opposition to transfer• THEY JUST DON”T CARE
– Actively Oppose Transfer
21
Leverage Points-Work Environment
Can’t Expect Transfer Unless We Engage the Superviors
![Page 22: Learning Transfer System Inventory research](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061209/548e0600b479592b618b484b/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

3. Learning Community– Peer Support can be MORE powerful than
supervisor support– Performance Coaching is usually weak
22
Leverage Points-Work Environment
Need to Systematically Engage the Community of
Learners

1. Diagnostic data is a powerful catalyst for change
2. Performance change data is necessary for accountability
23
Leverage Points-The Power of Data
Everything Important in Organizations Is Measured

• Bad News– Traditional training is often systemically
flawed
• Good News– ENORMOUS potential for improved ROI
• Less could be more• Learning Transfer System Audit Checklist
