* THE COMPLETE GUIDE TO THE 'TRANSFER OF LEARNING' BACK TO THE
ORGANIZATION AFTER EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING, OUTWARD BOUND TRAINING (OBT)
AND TEAM BUILDING / LEADERSHIP COURSES.
HAVE YOU JUST GOT BACK FROM YOUR OUTDOOR TRAINING EVENT AND REALIZED
THAT IT HAD THE SAME EFFECT ON YOUR STAFF AS A NIGHT OUT AT THE PUB?
It has made everyone friendlier but none of the promised learning e.g.
communication, team cohesion, team building, project management,
leadership, etc. have been harnessed or implemented back at the
company! Are you convinced that team building or experiential learning
courses serve no purpose and do not really work? Then this ebook is
for you. Based on research from all parts of the globe and intense
focus groups, this ebook presents a clear strategy to maximize the
learning from experiential learning, outward bound training and team
building / leadership courses.
Outdoor training is a piece of management consultancy. It brings
about a change within your organization towards its betterment. This
ebook adds value to all the money you have already invested in or are
about to invest in team building courses. This ebook introduces you to
a management model called the 'OBT TOL FRAMEWORK (OUTWARD BOUND
TRAINING, TRANSFER OF LEARNING FRAMEWORK)' which details 3 significant
phases to team building courses.
Phase 1: Organization Analysis (focusing on what needs to be done
prior to the OBT course),
Phase 2: The OBT program (focusing on which guidelines need to be
adhered to during the course),
Phase 3: Cycles of review, reflecting and learning (focusing on the
post OBT course learning).
Where all 3 phases come together and intersect is the point at which
learning is actually transferred from outward bound courses back to
your company. This ebook gives an example of this framework in action
together with clear guidelines on how to ensure the investments to be
made or already made in team building courses have an increased
capacity to bring forth a greater return via results within the
company.
BOOK PREFACE -
Over the past few years I have been on many outward bound training
courses. These courses are described by many terms such as team
building, experiential learning, outward bound management development
(OMD), outward bound leadership training, etc. Having been taken white
water rafting, raft building, kayaking, abseiling, aerial roping,
jungle trekking, etc. one sometimes begins to wonder what these
courses are all about. Most outdoor enthusiasts love these forms of
adventures. Most trainers of these courses are outdoor people who have
spent a lot of time developing their outdoor skills. For those who
typically prefer the city and indoors, the outdoors can be both a
daunting and an unnecessary exercise. Over the past few years outward
bound training has been received with both delight and criticism. Most
employees tend to return back to the work place having either loved or
hated the experience, and also rather bewildered as to how the
training was meant to affect their daily work life. Rather than
questioning the training most employees and employers either assume
there was learning that took place or mistakenly believe the new
euphoria within the work place (which is temporary) was part of the
training although the same euphoria could have been mustered via a
simple company day trip. Does the transfer of learning back to the
organization take place in outward bound training? Many agree and many
disagree.
With careful study using qualitative research from across the globe
and intense focus groups, I managed to determine if the transfer of
learning from the outdoors to the organization does or does not take
place. With this intense study I managed to put together a detailed
strategy on how one could ensure the transfer of learning back to the
work organization does take place. I presented my findings using a
simple storyline as detailed in this ebook. This ebook details the
lives of some individuals in a typical work organization. This
organization is under a lot of stress. Work schedules are tight,
competition fierce and the work load is almost drowning individuals.
Training and developing the human resources of an organization to
handle such stresses is critical for the success of the organization
and for the well being of the employees. Using outward bound training
to train individuals in leadership, team cohesion, motivation,
communication and project management is of great value. If the
training is a realistic live simulation of the work environment it
could be of great value to both employee and employer. During
recessions and difficult times, training employees is more important
than ever as it addresses the company's continued commitment to its
employees and it motivates employees and prepares them for the roads
ahead.
The key question to ask oneself is - is this training an adventure
course for the staff or corporate training for the employee? If it is
corporate training for the employee then the trainers themselves need
to be familiar with the dynamics of business administration. This book
is a management piece. It is geared towards the corporate employer or
employee. It details what the management of an organization are
required to do prior to an OBT course. It details what needs to be
done during and more importantly what needs to be done after. Using
simple characters, the focus of this book is not a story line or
character building but rather it is a management guide. The characters
(whilst not resembling anyone) are purely for the purpose of allowing
the reader to identify with character traits regarding OBT. The
significant portion of this book is the management study and
implementation that it recommends.
WHAT IS YOUR INVESTMENT?
_The ebook costs USD 90._ This is value for money. A typical outward
bound training / experiential learning course often costs thousands of
dollars. What this book offers you is a unique and researched
methodology to ensure that the investment you have made in employees
has a greater chance of a return. The training you undertake in the
future or already have undertaken in the past will not be in vein.
This is not simply the icing on the cake but the core missing
ingredient to a cake.
