✦ Synopsis

Abstract

Corporate learning programs are under pressure to show a better return on investment, even as evidence mounts that classroom training may not be enough to ensure transfer of learning to the job. To improve its bottom‐line impact, the Global Learning and Leadership Development group at Agilent Technologies stepped outside the “classroom box” to focus on the learning period after formal instruction ends. It implemented a new follow‐through system and other innovations to encourage on‐the‐job application of course learning and to facilitate coaching and feedback, particularly from participants'managers, who can make the difference in successful learning transfer. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
