I said in my last post that Kirkpatrick’s four levels were all about the training itself rather than how the training affects organizations. He suggests evaluation checks throughout the training?skill skill practice, role plays, and training simulations?with to training?to Level 4: Results.

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.

Obviously, these changes have a potentially large impact on people working in the organization. Without a robust communication and training plan, employees are left wondering how their jobs will look in the future. For example, a new CRM or ERP system can change workers’ jobs, roles, and even dictate future employment status.

I believe user adoption or training should be developed with the intent of creating a social epidemic, or should we say ‘workplace epidemic.’ If you take a second to think, I’m sure you can determine who the Connectors, the Mavens and the Salespeople are within your organization.

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.
