Creating a Post-Training Sustainment Plan

Even the best training fails when learning evaporates after participants return to work. The critical period following training determines whether skills transfer to the workplace or simply fade away – yet most organizations invest almost exclusively in the training event itself, neglecting the reinforcement ecosystem that determines actual impact.

This workshop equips you with a comprehensive approach to post-training reinforcement that addresses all factors affecting skill transfer. From designing spaced practice that combats forgetting to creating supervisor coaching frameworks, peer support networks, and aligned incentive systems, you’ll learn to build complete reinforcement ecosystems.

Learn to identify and remove workplace barriers that silently sabotage training transfer while implementing measurement approaches that track reinforcement effectiveness. Discover how to integrate reinforcement planning into your initial design process, transforming it from an afterthought into a fundamental element of your learning strategy.

Your people will learn how to:

• Design comprehensive reinforcement ecosystems that address all transfer factors, dramatically increasing the return on your training investments
• Create spaced practice experiences that combat the forgetting curve, ensuring critical knowledge remains accessible when needed
• Develop supervisor engagement strategies that transform managers from training bystanders into active reinforcement partners
• Implement peer support mechanisms that create self-sustaining learning communities, extending development through collaborative networks
• Align organizational systems and incentives with desired behaviors, removing the common disconnect between training and rewards
• Seamlessly integrate reinforcement planning into your initial design process, making post-training success a fundamental design element
