Training is an important function in any operation and is critical to our companies’ effectiveness and efficiency. It has a direct impact on our key objectives from profitability to customer service. For all individuals training is critical to their success, growth, and morale. Field experience, on the job training, and apprenticeships are a few types of experiential learning that we likely already employ.
This holds true through all industries and professions. It is happening on an on-going basis whether we are deliberate about it or not. You can draw a parallel to programs for electricians, plumbers, physicians, and our industries and professions. Can we better harness the power of this type of learning and improve our outcomes? Yes, we can.
