Can you believe that less than 50% of companies focus on the key skills required to grow their business - the skills that help drive revenue, increase productivity, and meet strategic targets? Regardless of the macro economic conditions, we find that figure, and the associated waste of billions of training dollars, appalling.
Despite the increased pressure on tangible business results, organizations continue to fall short in the areas of strategic skill identification, skill gap analysis, business alignment, and the Transfer of Training(TM). Companies continue to take ineffective short cuts and purchase or cancel training that never should have been considered in the first place.
Business results and skill alignment can and should be accomplished without costly or time consuming "Dilbert-like" consulting services and approaches. Yet, as has been proven over and over again, training on its own does not provide business results or improved performance.
If you would like to target your training investments wisely, then our proven Training Assessment Services are for you. We can help you align leadership and employees, pinpoint critical skill gaps, and create individual coaching plans that put your company on the positive side of the statistics.

When we talk to Human Resources and training, they tell us that learning initiatives fail due to a lack of marketing. But, business executives and employees tell us that this assumption is wrong.
Marketing for training is all about getting the right skills to the right people in the right way at the right time and at the right price. It is about creating awareness and making it easy to "buy" training that makes sense to the individual, their boss, and the organizational design.
We do not advocate against using proven marketing techniques to communicate professional development options. Quite the contrary. Standard marketing approaches, such as sponsorship by senior leaders, visibility on your intranet, easy registration and tracking, targeted marketing emails, clear value propositions, success stories, incentives, and promotions, are the tickets to play the game.
If you 're struggling with low attendance at your training programs and think that marketing is the cause, you are probably missing the boat. The boat that we are talking about carries executives as its passengers. The boat that we are talking about has business alignment and business results as its rudder and helm. We have yet to find a training program aligned with individual and business performance goals that does not have a waiting list - with or without marketing.
