Now members will know "The Impact of Training on Participation, Performance, and Productivity"

Training is a complex adaptive system, as defined by Neil Johnson in his book, Simply Complexity: A Clear Guide to Complexity Theory. In fact, training and development can be viewed as an ecosystem, rather than as a simple linear relationship between providing training and improving performance and productivity.

Another benefit for members of the Brandon Hall Research Center only

We need to describe training in all of its complexity, and we need to experiment with many different variables to obtain the desired productivity and performance results.

A new report for Brandon Hall Research Center members only considers the following questions and more:

  • What are the best definitions for "training," "education," 'productivity," and "performance"?
  • How does training relate to education overall?
  • Does training benefit performance and productivity?
  • Why is training so hard to evaluate, especially in the workplace?
  • What deficiencies exist in the research literature on training results?


Dr. Steve Berglas

Dr. Berglas' book, Reclaiming the Fire: How Successful People Can Overcome Burnout, was named by Fortune Magazine as one of the 75 smartest books ever written.

Berglas on Talent Management, June 23

We are exited to offer a two-hour workshop with "psychologist to the stars" Dr. Steven Berglas, Talent: Can't Live With 'Em; Can't Live Without 'Em. Participants will learn what talent is, why it's invaluable, and what can be done to keep star performers happy.

This seminar is a must for anyone who understands the true value of talent: If you do not know how to cope with their idiosyncrasies, you will lose them to your competitors, or you will go mad using ineffectual and costly techniques designed to address their unique needs for care and feeding.

Only 30 spaces are available for June 23's workshop -- and we expect them to go fast -- so register here now!
