Transfer of training has significant variability in outcomes. There are a wide variety of different training techniques and different training formats that are available for organizations to train their workforces. For example, some organizations will attempt to develop new skills in their employees by hosting a three day workshop, providing an online course or promoting on-the-job training, or through more conventional education methods. However, the effectiveness of these formats can vary depending on the specific objectives as well as a variety of factors. Given the complexity involved with the transfer of training it is prudent for organizations to stay informed as to the best practices and recommendations of research to customize their training efforts to their unique situation.
Any training program generally represents a significant investment in regard to the financial investments made as well as the time involved with designing and conducting programs....
Since training can be a very costly, having an effectively designed training program is important to substantiate this investment. If the program is effective and the employees gain the skills which were intended to be transferred, then this can adds substantial value to the organization in regard to their human capital. However, if the training program is ineffective in transferring these skills then this could hinder the organizations ability to compete in the marketplace. Therefore the stakes involved in any training program represent much more than just the initial investment required. Furthermore, the initial investment of the training program generally only represents a small portion of the benefits that could be achieved through training and skill development.

Training Program Design and Development These considerations do not, however, lead to the conclusion that all instruction, especially training, is hopelessly idiosyncratic and thereby beyond all structure and control. There is still much that can and should be done to design, develop, and implement instructional programs beyond simply providing opportunities for trial and error with feedback. Systematic development of instruction is especially important for programs intended to produce a steady stream
Manufacturing Seven Key Elements for Successful Implementation Norman Binette, Jr. Biddeford, Maine Manufacturing organizations are built on the premise that they possess the ability to provide a wide variety of quality products for their customers.
