Tips

• Always start with a needs assessment before designing training — avoid training for the wrong problem.
• Use the 70-20-10 model: 70% on-the-job learning, 20% coaching/mentoring, 10% formal training.
• Write specific, measurable learning objectives before designing any content.
• Measure training impact at all four Kirkpatrick levels — especially behavior change and business results.
• Make learning continuous, not a one-time event — follow up with coaching, job aids, and practice opportunities.
