Send in the Reinforcements! How to Overcome the Forgetting Curve - ERP Spain.com - España y América Latina

Let’s face it, the majority of the learning that goes on in organizations takes place in either a formal classroom setting or through an online course format. While there isn’t anything inherently wrong with that, the challenge for most is that what is absorbed in these learning environments is quickly forgotten. In an increasingly complex digital world, with so much competing for our attention, modern day neuroscience is telling us that 70% of what we learn is forgotten within 24 hours, and 90% within a week. 

With the amount of time, money and energy spent on developing these learning experiences, it is critical that organizations find ways to maximize their investment by ensuring learners retain the information they are given. So how do we reinforce training once it is done? How do we maximize knowledge retention and improve on the job performance? Join David Wentworth, Principal Analyst with Brandon Hall Group, and Shahin Sobhani, President at SwissVBS as they examine how current learning approaches may be falling short and look at strategies to boost retention, engagement and on the job performance. 

Discussion topics include: 

• The current learning ecosystem 

• Challenges to traditional learning 

• Learning retention strategies 

• Examples of companies putting strategies into practice
