Risk

What is the risk to your company if the learner fails to achieve the purpose of the training?

  • Low risk and minimal consequences if the training is not remembered/used
  • Low risk because the skill or process can only be completed one way and, therefore, requires less judgment
  • High risk in real world if:
    • The skill or process can only be completed multiple ways and requires critical thought to weight factors
    • Consequences from failure are delayed hours, days, weeks or even years
  • Variable risk:
    • Process steps are easily done wrong
    • Task is done infrequently

Key questions: How quickly or easily can your company fix mistakes from a lack of skill or knowledge AND how often will the learner use the training AFTER the training is done?
