Training Performance Improvement: Navigating the Transition

Organizations are spending billions of dollars every year training employees. Why are organizations sending their employees to training?
They often don't know. Many managers don't believe that training really works. But training is a quick fix. And even if training isn't the appropriate solution to a problem, many organizations automatically implement training for lack of a more reasoned, thoughtful approach.
Here's the approach you've waited for: performance improvement. Fuller and Farrington show you how to achieve measurable gains by implementing this revolutionary technique at your organization.
