Creating Training Advocates


The core solution for training effectiveness in your organization is buy-in from all key influencers. Work at tapping into successful lobbying skills as you seek to encourage role models to value learning and training!
A lobbyist is defined as someone who tries to influence others on behalf of a special interest.
Here is your checklist for success:
  • Solicit feedback without becoming defensive – take a look what people are saying they need, want, wish was different
  • Find your champion – go for as high up the food chain as possible
  • Promote and embrace continuous improvement - how to streamline, elevate quality
  • Seek endorsement for tying learning outcomes and training attendance to performance appraisals
  • Form a training council – not to be confused with a committee – small advisory team
  • Survey your talent pool – find the artists, writers, cartoonists, teachers to help make training sizzle
Still learning,
