I have been involved with training individuals and groups for many years. I think i know something about what works - and what doesn't.
My main lesson is that 'doing' works - getting trainers to undertake activity to reinforce any knowledge they might have gained. The closer the activity is to a real-life work situation for which the trainees are being prepared, the better.
This is why I am really looking forward to the impact that VR and AI are going to have on training.
When we can put trainees in a near-to-real-life situation and observe how they get on , the more we can tune our training, mentoring, coaching and skills development processes to deliver maximum on-the-job impact. VR is about to enter the mainstream - getting cheap enough to deploy practical -sized training groups. It will then take a while for we trainers to learn how to exploit it ... but the results could be amazing.
