 Did you know that the average level of retention of new knowledge three months after a typical training program is only 8%? With the amount of change currently taking place, and with the constant need for more creative thinking, we need a better approach! The LEARNlinks system can help take that 8% return and turn it into 80%!
There are two versions of the LEARNlinks system. The Formal Learning Process (FLP) version is used exclusively for learning that takes place within a formal structure such as a training program. (Remember . . . the real purpose of training is not to provide more knowledge. The real purpose of training is the application of new knowledge!)
The Continuous Learning Process (CLP) version was developed because the majority of our workplace knowledge is not learned in a formal training program—it is learned on the job! The CLP version is used for any area where learning can take place (other than formal training programs). Examples include, but are not limited to: meetings, post-project analysis, job shadowing, new product launches, vendor showcases, conferences, and mentoring.

Administering the LEARNlinks® System
1. Ask yourself the Preparation Questions (the upper portion of the LEARNlinks form), and write the responses in the spaces provided. Really put some thought into how you can get the most out of the learning event.
2. When the learning event is over, ask yourself the Application Questions (the lower portion of the LEARNlinks form), and write the responses in the spaces provided. This should be done as soon as possible while it is fresh in your mind.
3. Schedule a follow-up with yourself to review successes and any challenges you may have had. Establish the best waqy to overcome those challenges.
