On-Target Learning -- A New Workshop with Dan Tobin -- On CD

Aug. 2, 2011 - PRLog -- Many corporate training groups continue to struggle to demonstrate how their learning initiatives support their company’s business goals and strategies. On-Target Learning teaches training directors how use Tobin’s concept of a “Learning Contract” to establish this direct link and to ensure that the participants in their training programs actually use what they learn to make a positive difference in individual, team, and organizational business performance.

Tobin’s concept of the “Learning Contract,” evolved over the past 20 years, has three parts:
    1. Determining the learning need
    2. Planning the learning agenda
    3. Applying learning to the job

Full of illustrative examples from Tobin’s own experience and containing many tools and templates, the workshop teaches training managers how to: How to organize and run a Training Advisory Board How to find the root cause of performance problems How to write measurable program goals How to evaluate training programs How to broaden their focus from training to learning facilitation

“In his vast learning and development experience, [Tobin] offers riveting professional narratives I can easily relate to my business and will use his seasoned advice,” says Bill Peace, Director of Training and Development at the Merck, Sharp, and Dohme Credit Union. “Every training manager and executive concerned with training’s value and contribution to the business should answer the crucial questions Dan outlines in his three-part Learning Contract.”

Dan Tobin, with more than 30 years of experience in the learning and development field, has founded two corporate universities, served as vice president of program design and development for the American Management Association, written seven books on corporate learning strategies, and given keynotes and workshops around the globe. He was named to Executive Excellence Magazine’s 2008-2009 “Top 100” list.
