7 tips to maximize the value of your training

  1. Don’t wait: maximize your training’s value and don’t wait until it’s too late to act. Are you reactive or proactive? Our trainer would like to know beforehand what specific issues your organization is facing. Then, they can shape the training around your needs. Don’t hesitate to share your specific needs beforehand.
  2. Set goals: determine beforehand what, exactly, you want to learn. Drill down to your own learning goals and communicate them to the trainer. Do you have a checklist yet?
  3. Learning styles: you can learn in various ways. By thinking and reflecting, by choosing between various scenarios, by observing what’s happening, and finally, by doing. Every group is different. Try to combine the various learning styles before, during, and after training. This will provide a deeper learning experience for all involved.
  4. Come together: knowledge is an essential part of training. Knowledge comes with terms and definitions. The learning curve after training can be accelerated by talking to each other about the contents and implementation. You don’t have to talk about terms and definitions. In other words: by speaking the same language based on a shared training course you can understand each other better and jump into action more quickly. This makes learning simpler and more pleasant when it comes to quickly setting up a new system or further improving your organization.
  5. Bring a manager: create a base of support and a shared foundation to apply your newly learned skills and knowledge quickly. Set new goals and activities. The sooner the manager is involved, the faster you can get started.
  6. Get started: don’t just reflect and think, but start doing and experimenting. Create a culture where people are free to make mistakes. Experimenting is the quickest way to learn what works and what doesn’t in your given situation.
  7. Undivided attention: make sure you have plenty of time and attention for the training course. Getting distracted by messages, emails, and calls, leads to less effective training for you. You might reach a point where you stop being able to absorb new knowledge or skills. How can you stay focused? What works for you? Find out beforehand and use it to your advantage during the training course.

Become an intelligent organization

Our training courses are based on the proven concept behind the intelligent organization. This concept is the backbone of the management book Data Science for Decision-Makers.

Reviews about Training courses

Iris Driessen | BNP Paribas Cardif: Good training with striking examples. Emphasis on logical thinking and both feet on the ground. Positive + enlightening! Review on Training PDCA & Quality Management.

Miranda Gooiker | Bonduelle: In my opinion it is a complete course for people from the business/IT or finance corner to learn and understand all the disciplines of data management and data science. You learn to look through different lenses. Review on Data Science course.

Anonymous | Conclusion Learning Centers: Pleasant atmosphere, nice group and learned a lot. Review of Performance Management & KPI Training.

Dirk Schaele | Director Operations | Lapperre Hearing Systems: A valuable and powerful Lean course. The team gave valuable feedback at the debrief. People are already showing different behavior. They are interacting differently, naming improvements more concretely and trying to quantify improvements. We will now work to see how we can implement this further with other teams within Lapperre Hearing Systems. Review on Lean Training Green Belt.

Rineke de Weijer | Unilever R&D: Enthusiastic trainer with a lot of experience, practical examples! Day 1: strategy, the big PDCA circle is a bit far from my mind, this part could have been a bit shorter, to have more time for smaller circles. Despite that, my goals were definitely met! Thank you!!! Review on Training PDCA & Quality Management.

Duncan Borst | ABN AMRO Bank: Must have for anyone making decisions about Business Analytics. Instructive, especially strong focus on building a bridge between IT & Business. Review on Data Science training.
