Without a robust communication and training plan, employees are left wondering how their jobs will look in the future. To avoid this problem, companies must build significant financial and human resources into ERP project plans for communications, training, and other organizational change management activities.

Some companies will use “Level 2: Learning” to measure whether the learners have mastered the training course content. The focus is on the training event itself and the follow-up to that event. Company executives are typically interested in the bottom line, not how well their employees apply the learning from a training class.

Of course, the person “next to you” might just as often be consulted via email or other online tool, but it doesn’t change this fact: the amount of workplace learning done in formal training sessions is a tiny fraction of of the learning that takes place one-on-one, between coworkers. That’s why this post from Frank Noschese is so great.

Another similar (though paid less) group of thousands are the training developers whose jobs are to help others use the software once it’s working. My learning philosophy: dont make people tote around loads of information in their heads just so you can say you trained them. less big companies, for more than 20 years.

In both cases, the managers had complete control over the training their workers did or didn’t get.

It has been around for all of my 15+ years as an instructional designer and training developer, and goes back much further than that.
