These days every organization is looking for ways to do more with less, often alongside the pressure of reduced budgets. There are a lot of ways to add value to learning without increasing costs, but first we need to look at the true cost of training and comprehend the real value they deliver for organizational performance. This workshop looks at ways to reduce content documentation time and increase the value of training deliverables using the Learning Paths Methodology, which is rapidly becoming the global standard for lean training. We'll explore how a Learning Path designed for an entire job can be integrated with courses and e-learning to reduce overall training costs and make the learning process as lean as possible. We'll also explain the sizeable advantages of measuring organizational results instead of training results and contrast the benefits of proficiency-based training over competency-based training.
