Monthly Learning Meeting

Skin in the Game - Developing Accountability for Learning

• Do managers resist sending people to training because they are “too busy?”
• Are participants in your training classes just “checking a box” when they attend?
• Is your training department expected to “fix” performance problems with training classes?

If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, then you should attend, “Skin in the Game.”

“Skin in the Game” will help you to get participants, managers and executives invested in training. It will help you to create ownership of training results that goes beyond the training organization.

This learning session will focus on three transformative principles: Requirement, Effort and Demonstration. These “Skin in the Game” principles will change your organization into one in which training is seen as essential to performance management and a valued component in the continuum of a high performing organization.
