How can we increase the percentage of learning that’s retained? The Xerox Corporation carried out several coaching-related studies, one of which showed that in the absence of follow-up coaching 87% of the skills change brought about by the program was lost. However good your skills training is in the classroom, unless it is followed up on the job, most of its effectiveness is lost without follow-up coaching. –Business Wire, July 30th. 2002.
At X2ponents, our approach to transferring learning encompasses a combination of on the job assignments, skill refresher pod casts, followed up with social interaction in a virtual community of practice and group coaching using experienced certified Leader Coach/facilitators.
