The Secret to Learning Transfer Success: Introducing Three Practical Strategies That Work
Despite an abundance of attention, the failure of learning transfer continues to afflict the workforce, organizations and their learning leaders. It is an issue that has become increasingly expensive over the years with the rising cost of training along with the financial implications of not applying new knowledge and skills in the workplace. Whether it’s the retail associate who lacks specific product knowledge that results in a lost sale or the manufacturing employee who suffers an injury for not following safety guidelines, the cost adds up to billions of dollars a year. This webinar will uncover key reasons for lack of learning transfer in training along with the implications. It will then introduce three strategies that are not only proven to work, but can be implemented in your environment quickly and cost effectively.
Learning Objectives:
Uncovering the implications of learning transfer failure. Understanding the root causes of learning transfer failure. Three strategies to increase learning transfer success that attendees can take away and start implementing immediately and cost effectively.

FACTORS AFFECTING LEARNING TRANSFER
ORG ENVIRONMENT
Near Transfer:When original learning task and transfer task closely resemble each other.
Far Transfer:When original learning task and transfer task differ significantly from each other.
Positive Transfer:When prior experience and knowledge benefit learning and performance.
Negative Transfer:When prior experience and knowledge impede learning and performance.

SPACED LEARNING
SPACED LEARNING (Distributed Learning):New learning is significantly improved when the same material is presented or studied over time.

WHY DOES RETRIEVAL PRACTICE WORK?
ORGANIZATIONAL SUPPORT
A true commitment by the organization to transfer of training as a continuous process.

Post-training
• Importance of pre-training motivation
• Intrinsic and extrinsic incentives
• Repetition of key ideas• Relevance of content to
trainee’s job
• Application opportunities• Error correction• Supervisor & peer support
ORGANIZATIONAL SUPPORT3
Frame the trainingHOW TO
Make a long-term plan to promote transfer
Leverage social aspect of learning
WHY DOES ORGANIZATIONAL SUPPORT WORK?
THESE ARE KEY
Trainees start forgetting when the training event ends
Use spaced learning and retrieval practice to facilitate learning transfer
Ensure your organization makes a commitment to transfer of learning
People can only process ~4 to 5 pieces of information at a time
