Managers often experience training programs that do not achieve their expectations for improved business results. Many are under intense pressure to hit non-negotiable performance targets and need the kind of support that achieves the required business results.

This presents several challenges for the L&D professionals who try to help. For instance, the L&D team cannot always count on the manager’s expectation to provide clear guidance for L&D work. A solution to this predicament is to learn how to achieve Level 4 business results in any situation. This prepares the L&D team to provide managers with the support actually needed, even when not explicitly requested.

In this webinar, James Pepitone will brief you on what experienced work design consultants know about how to increase business results that are specifically dependent on people. James will help you see and understand the broader system of challenges involved. He also will share numerous stories from his work partnering with his client’s training and development functions to create Level 4 business results. After this event, participants will learn:

  • why most training programs do not achieve Level 4 outcomes
  • the primary factors determining business results dependent on people
  • how to respond more effectively to the expectations of managers
  • how to absolutely positively achieve Level 4 outcomes.
