Increasing Speed to Proficiency

Last year, graduates of our new hire program generated an average of $40M/year in revenue - the equivalent of employees with nine years of experience. One of our customers just informed us that this was the result of the employee assimilation program we created for them. As you can imagine, he was really happy to be able to report this to his CEO.

The secret? A blended learning program that used an online collaboration platform to reinforce face-to-face training with coaching and mentoring for the first months on the job. The result was that rather than forgetting 50% of what was learned 30-days after training, employees learned and applied more and more each month.

In this presentation, Dr. Bill Bruck shares best practices that he and his colleagues have discovered over the last five years of supporting Fortune 500 organizations to transform one-time training events into learning programs, where the measure of success is proficiency on the job, not butts in seats.
