HRD's Most Costly, Enduring Problem
What It Takes to Change a Behavior Pattern
Train-to-Ingrain - A Reinforcement-based Solution
 
 
The Holy Grail of HRD
 
Training and development programs that create permanent, measurable improvements in individual performance and positive impacts on the bottom line...

 

 
Watch a three-minute movie about how to change employee behavior and measure improvements in their performance.
 

A well-established fact…

Training and development programs only rarely change the behavior of the people who attend them. 

As a result, most of the tens of billions of dollars invested each year in these events fail to produce lasting changes in workplace performance or have a positive impact on business results.

Why this is so…

Work habits are physically imbedded in networks of brain cells. These networks are established over time as a result of constant reinforcement. They are what make skills and behavior patterns of all kinds automatic, and they can be replaced only by establishing new networks. And no training course—by itself—can do that. 

Your challenge:
To transfer classroom learning to consistent improved performance in the workplace…

Cognitive neuroscience tells us that to change a work habit, you have to reconnect brain cells into new pathways that enable new skills and behavior patterns. This physical growth process takes time. A substantial amount of practical application and reinforcement is needed, which almost never happens in the traditional approach to training and development.

Built upon decades of neuroscience research, Train-to-Ingrain is a new reinforcement-intensive approach to professional development that continuously stimulates appropriate brain cells to make new connections, thus forming new neural networks. If trainers, learners and their direct managers cooperate in this ongoing process, work habits and skills eventually replace old behavior patterns.

ChartUp

Train-to-Ingrain is a highly adaptable framework involving numerous initiatives. At its core are two imperatives:

  • Integrating assessment and training with enough follow-up reinforcement so that newly learned skills and practices are permanently ingrained as improved individual performance

  • Involving direct managers as workplace performance coaches of their subordinate team members throughout this ongoing assessment, learning and reinforcement process

The optimum leadership development solution…

Organizations invest more in leadership development than any other kind of program, and they are wise to do so. The Train-to-Ingrain approach to leadership development integrates three unparalleled resources:
