“In a world that shows no signs of slowing down, no individual can rest on his or her intellectual laurels… The future belongs to those organizations, as well as those individuals, that have made an active, lifelong commitment to continue to learn.” Howard Gardner, Five Minds for the Future (2009, HBS Press) But what about the transfer and application of that learning? The primary purpose of learning, development, and CPE is to improve business and personal results – it rarely happens. This immersive learning experience guides you in applying the models and frameworks of the Progression of Learning Value (POLV™) in a proven six-step process for achieving measurable results from your learning and development initiatives, meetings and other initiatives. This program includes two days of classroom experience plus three, two-hour follow-up virtual-collaboration sessions approximately two, four and eight weeks after the course. During these follow-through sessions, participants will share and discuss experiences, issues, success stories and ideas for future improvement and application. This is what it takes to make learning stick.
