Your customer has a business issue and they quickly determine that an e-learning course is the solution. You hear statements like, "Training didn’t work the first time!" or "A new online course will work!" An online solution may be required, but imagine helping your customer determine the root cause of a business issue and potentially divert what looked like a training issue to the true source, saving your organization time, effort and expense. The concept of performance consulting is becoming a highly effective and strategic part of training organizations, helping customers clarify business problems and uncover root cause, determining if training is "to be" or "not to be" a contributing factor. Using performance consulting techniques, recently implemented at Southwest Airlines, this session will demonstrate real-world examples and provide takeaways to help you clarify business problems and determine root cause in your own organization.
