PM4NGOs gladly announce Weircapacity as new training partner.
Written by: Weircapacity
Over the years,
we have executed projects in small towns and rural communities across Africa
and found that a significant number of projects fail due to inadequate project
management capacity. The peculiar nature of the development sector and the
areas in which they operate makes it imperative for organizations to build
in-house capacity in project management, with a focus on development projects.

The Importance of Learning Retention Programs
This article was originally published on Humentum by Education Technology Insights.
According to the 2017 State of the Industry report from the Association for Talent Development, in 2016 the average employer spent $1273 per person per year on professional development, representing more than 100 billion dollars. A 2010 McKinsey study estimated that only 25 percent of spending on training led to measured results. This means roughly the GDP of Delaware worth of training each year leads to no measurable results.
This is simply not acceptable. As learning and development professionals, we have a responsibility to support not just learning but learning transfer and improved results in the workplace.
So, it’s important to ask a few questions:
- Are our traditional training approaches supporting learning transfer and business results?
- How do we know whether our efforts are successful (and what to do to improve it)?
These are big questions, but the proposed answer is quite simple: support learning retention. Granted, this is not a magic bullet but it’s a step in the right direction. And it can be done with a tool we already use every day, making this approach accessible and effective. Continue reading “The Importance of Learning Retention Programs”
