“People may not be asking for learning transfer because they don’t know what they don’t know. But they are probably asking for better training because they want better results. Or they are asking for cheaper training so the results they are accustomed to getting
don’t seem so expensive.”
- Paul Matthews
Train effectively - or not at all! Find out how to make training & development programs impactful & get sustained results - with transfer!
Why transfer?
Perhaps, like me, you too have been hearing or reading about the increasing global call for reskilling and/or upskilling out in the workplace. There seems to be a growing need and urgency to fill the expanding or newly emerging skills gaps as well as shrink the time to profiency amongst our workforces. In a world where learning is labelled paramount to success there is an exponentially related call for effective transfer. You may not specifically be asking for or calling it “transfer” but I’d imagine you want:
Training & development programs to produce desired behavior change and business results.
In other words, you’d like for people to apply their learning once they are back in the workplace, which is what transfer is all about. Because you realize that knowing is not enough. People have to do. Transfer is what happens when people move from knowing to doing to performing. The finish line is not the end of a training event when learners leave happy and motivated. The real finish line is when people successfully implement their learnings to perform better in their job. Looking into the future it seems highly unlikely that we can continue training the way we have been. We need training that really works to get us sustained results. The key here is effective transfer.
You will be relieved to hear that there are numerous simple, practical, and scientifically proven ways of bringing transfer onboard. You won’t need to change the world to make more transfer happen! Transfer Enablers, like me, can show you how to do that.
Let’s discuss how to incorporate transfer into your L&D Landscape - for Training and for Coaching!

„Training without transfer is like a car without an engine;
it won't get you anywhere.“
– Robert O. Brinkerhoff
Get more transfer into the training programs at your organization
Competitive advantage that lasts doesn’t stem from what people in an organization know, but from what they do with what they know. Billions are invested in training globally while less than 20% of what people learn will be put into practice.
Translate that into what you spend on training every year and add the cost of invested time and energy. Not to mention the cost of motivation and engagement loss. Can you afford to waste any of these valuable resources?
Or would you rather tap into the enormous potential of transfer effective training, which drives performance until it is implemented?
Put your Learning & Development people into the driver’s seat to successfully manage transfer through practical tools and interventions they can apply immediately. Turn your programs into impactful learning initiatives that focus on a new finish line, moving trainees from knowing to doing to performing.
One way we can achieve this is to provide you and/or your trainers answers to questions such as:
• How can we achieve more transfer success?
• What specifically can we do to make our training & development programs effective/even more effective?
• What will bring important stakeholders on board?
We'll uncover influencing factors and determine the right transfer tools & measures for a perfect fit leading to sustained business results.
