Understand the importance of leadership development initiatives in corporate environments. It is not enough to evaluate our programs using formative and summative evaluations or implementing the Kirkpatrick evaluation model to gain insights into how participants implement the knowledge or skills after training. We must understand how to design a program that has elements that will promote transfer before, during, and after the program. This paper will examine the impact of learning transfer and the models used to understand better how to achieve this. Afterward, a deep dive will be done into the relationship between learning transfer and leadership development and what elements can be incorporated before, during, and after the programs that can impact transfer.
The Intentional Teaching Model (INTENT) is a step-by-step method for school leaders to conduct professional development aimed at promoting instructional changes in teachers. It involves 4 phases: 1) assessing teacher beliefs, 2) setting goals for instructional changes, 3) implementing changes and evaluating success, and 4) sustaining changes. Critical factors for the change agent leading this include addressing teacher beliefs, supporting implementation through small goals and feedback, and facilitating collaboration through group discussions and observations. When implemented effectively with attention to these factors, INTENT can help schools develop intentional teachers and improve student achievement.

This document describes the Intentional Teaching Model (INTENT), which provides school leaders with a step-by-step method for conducting effective professional development to promote instructional changes. The model has three phases: 1) assessing teachers' beliefs, 2) establishing shared goals and strategies, and 3) iterative action, evaluation, and reformulation of goals. A key factor for success is the school change agent who guides teachers through reflection, goal-setting, and adapting practices while maintaining morale. The change agent adopts coaching and mentoring roles to challenge reluctant teachers in a supportive manner.

This document discusses strategies for embedding coaching skills in organizations after executives and managers complete leadership coaching programs. It recommends using an evidence-based program design that allows for skills practice back in the workplace. It also suggests making the program both theoretically grounded and practical, internally branding it to the organization's values, and using respected internal figures as champions to promote its use. Regular reminders and peer coaching groups can also help prompt leaders to apply the new skills daily.
Training and development play a critical role in improving employee performance and motivation. The document discusses several key aspects of effective training programs, including:
1. Training helps employees gain the necessary knowledge and skills to meet changing job demands and technological innovations. It allows organizations to develop their workforce as a valuable asset or "human capital".
2. Studies show training positively impacts business results when implemented as part of a combined human resources strategy. However, few studies isolate the specific effects of training programs.
3. Effective training considers both technical/task-related skills as well as soft skills development. Trainers must understand trainees' backgrounds and organizational culture to facilitate knowledge transfer back to the workplace.
The document discusses a training event conducted by Marks & Spencer to improve employee performance. It outlines the methodology used to plan, implement and evaluate the training program, which included setting standards, measuring outcomes, comparing results to expectations, and observing progress. The training aimed to enhance employees' skills in areas like complaint handling, production efficiency, and customer service through methods such as role playing, discussion, and performance reviews.
This research proposal aims to study how LinkedIn Learning can improve employee performance as evaluated in performance reviews. The researchers hypothesize that LinkedIn Learning is an effective self-directed learning tool that can help employees gain skills and help leaders provide better coaching to employees. The study will use surveys to assess employee and leader perspectives on how LinkedIn Learning impacts the performance evaluation process. The literature review discusses what is known, such as benefits of social learning platforms and LinkedIn Learning, and what is unknown, such as potential downsides of personal data sharing and impacts on business performance. The theoretical framework discusses ubiquitous learning models and how always-available online learning platforms can influence learner motivation and transfer of skills to the professional environment.
This article explores the challenges faced by managers who take on a coaching role in addition to their regular responsibilities. As organizations increasingly focus on continuous learning, managers are expected to facilitate development of their staff. However, adding coaching duties requires navigating different and sometimes conflicting roles as both supervisor and coach. Effective coaching requires interpersonal and cognitive skills beyond traditional management approaches. Developing as a manager-coach also demands a transformation in mindset rather than just acquiring new techniques. Organizations must support this cultural shift by promoting leadership as a distributed function.
This document provides an analysis of human resource management and training practices at Marks & Spencer. It discusses different learning styles and theories that influence training design.

Learning Objectives
The learning objectives are to promote better communication and listening skills and develop
approaches in implementing or enforcing positive attitudes in the workplace. The outcome is
enforcement of better leadership skills improving overall organizational performance. The objective is
to increase employee and supervisor cohesion which was the leading cause of dysfunction resulting in
client complaints. Nevertheless, the learning activity will entail discussion and practice sessions whereby
communication skills will be the focus. It is noteworthy that communication skills are most effective
when other facets such as listening skills, teamwork, non-verbal communication skills, and empathy are
addressed. Therefore, the discussion will involve the appreciation of communication skills in the
workplace and the other factors that influence them.
As previously mentioned, communication skills entail other aspects that determine their
effectiveness. The first facet to be addressed will be listening skills; each student will be informed on the
importance of listening skills in enforcing communication skills. For effective communication, it is
essential that various listening skills such as informational listening where verbal and non-verbal
messages are passed for learning or awareness purposes (Černevičiūtė & Strazdas, 2018). Numerous
other types of listening skills can have potential. The second aspect that will be addressed in improving
the learner’s communication skills is teamwork. According to Sonoda et al. (2017), teamwork is a
necessary aspect of organizational functionality. However, it is greatly affected by ineffective
communication skills resulting in poor performance. Therefore, for any team to be successful, effective
communication is necessary; the value of the notion is expressed in the needs of the newly promoted
supervisors and working staff (Sonoda et al., 2017). The lack of effective communication resulted in poor
quality service increasing client complaints.

15.1 Identify key factors that are driving the demand for well-designed and well-executed programs of workplace learning
15.2 Explain what training and development activities are
15.3 Illustrate the fundamental requirements of sound training practice

Factors Driving the Increasing Demand for Workplace Training
Change, growth, and development are facts of organizational life. Young people entering the workforce today typically change jobs at least seven times by their late 20s as they strive to figure out what they like, what they are good at, and where they can fit in and stand out (Hirsch, 2016). At the same time, as we noted in more detail in Chapter 1, the number as well as the mix of people available to work are changing rapidly. Globally, there will be many more older than younger people (“The first world is aging,” 2015; Qi, 2017), and in the United States, by 2040 the non-Hispanic white population will drop below 50% (Toossi, 2012).
These workforce dynamics have two major implications for employers. First, since products and services can be copied, the ability of a workforce to innovate, refine processes, solve problems, and form relationships becomes an organization’s only sustainable advantage. Attracting, retaining, and developing people with critical competencies is vital for success. Second, the task of managing a culturally diverse workforce, of harnessing the motivation and efforts of a wide variety of workers, will present a continuing challenge. Ongoing training and development initiatives are critical to meeting the need for competent, well-functioning workforces. The following four trends are driving the demand for well-designed and well-executed programs of workplace learning (Cascio, 2017):
Growing demands for personal and professional development. Among young adults, the most important feature they look for in a new job is the opportunity for continuous learning (Hirsch, 2016). From the perspective of organizations, surveys indicate a strong desire for employees who can “plug and play”—that is, perform with minimal on-the-job training. Unfortunately, only 11% of employers report that they have found such recruits (Abadzi, 2016; Coy, 2014; Weber, 2014). In addition to technical skills, employers are looking for p ...

Transfer of Training and Knowledge Sharing Are Important for Nonprofits
Nonprofit organizations such as the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) and government agencies such as the Peace Corps routinely send workers to some of the most dangerous, underdeveloped nations in the world. They rely upon temporary and short-term field workers and volunteers and have small training budgets compared to those of private, for-profit companies. Despite the difficulties they face, nonprofits still manage to train their workers successfully so they can be effective in their mission. It is especially important that what is emphasized in training is used on the job (transfer of training) and that the valuable knowledge that volunteers have gained about a location, its people, and the assistance needed is not lost when they leave the organization (i.e., knowledge sharing occurs).
For example, consider the online course used by Darkness to Light (D2L), an international child abuse prevention, education, and public awareness organization. "Stewards of Children Online" is designed to teach adults how to prevent and recognize signs of sexual abuse in children. The training was developed around "universal truths" to ensure that the basic principles emphasized in the course would be relevant for everyone, regardless of their culture, socioeconomic background, or location. For
185
example, one of the "universal truths" is that it is healthy and good for parents to talk to their children about their personal boundaries.
UNICEF, which provides humanitarian and development assistance to children and mothers in developing countries, uses a blended learning approach. The majority of e-learning programs offered by UNICEF include both CD-ROM and Internet formats, which allows trainees without dependable access to the Internet to train using personal computers available at their location. Course content is broken into modules so individual regions can easily customize content to local culture and situations.
At the Peace Corps, more than 90 percent of training is conducted by local staff in the field. The Peace Corps trains volunteers in the actual perfor.
This document discusses training and development in organizations. It defines training and development and distinguishes them from education. Training involves imparting specific skills to improve current job performance, while development provides general knowledge and attitudes to help employees grow into higher positions. Education involves theoretical classroom learning for a different job. The document outlines the importance of training and development for organizations, including reducing errors, increasing productivity and flexibility, and improving employee retention. It also discusses analyzing training needs to ensure training effectively meets business objectives.
Decolonizing Universal Design for LearningFrederic Fovet
UDL has gained in popularity over the last decade both in the K-12 and the post-secondary sectors. The usefulness of UDL to create inclusive learning experiences for the full array of diverse learners has been well documented in the literature, and there is now increasing scholarship examining the process of integrating UDL strategically across organisations. One concern, however, remains under-reported and under-researched. Much of the scholarship on UDL ironically remains while and Eurocentric. Even if UDL, as a discourse, considers the decolonization of the curriculum, it is abundantly clear that the research and advocacy related to UDL originates almost exclusively from the Global North and from a Euro-Caucasian authorship. It is argued that it is high time for the way UDL has been monopolized by Global North scholars and practitioners to be challenged. Voices discussing and framing UDL, from the Global South and Indigenous communities, must be amplified and showcased in order to rectify this glaring imbalance and contradiction.
This session represents an opportunity for the author to reflect on a volume he has just finished editing entitled Decolonizing UDL and to highlight and share insights into the key innovations, promising practices, and calls for change, originating from the Global South and Indigenous Communities, that have woven the canvas of this book. The session seeks to create a space for critical dialogue, for the challenging of existing power dynamics within the UDL scholarship, and for the emergence of transformative voices from underrepresented communities. The workshop will use the UDL principles scrupulously to engage participants in diverse ways (challenging single story approaches to the narrative that surrounds UDL implementation) , as well as offer multiple means of action and expression for them to gain ownership over the key themes and concerns of the session (by encouraging a broad range of interventions, contributions, and stances).

Factors Driving the Increasing Demand for Workplace Training
Change, growth, and development are facts of organizational life. Young people entering the workforce today typically change jobs at least seven times by their late 20s as they strive to figure out what they like, what they are good at, and where they can fit in and stand out (Hirsch, 2016). At the same time, as we noted in more detail in Chapter 1, the number as well as the mix of people available to work are changing rapidly. Globally, there will be many more older than younger people (“The first world is aging,” 2015; Qi, 2017), and in the United States, by 2040 the non-Hispanic white population will drop below 50% (Toossi, 2012).
These workforce dynamics have two major implications for employers. First, since products and services can be copied, the ability of a workforce to innovate, refine processes, solve problems, and form relationships becomes an organization’s only sustainable advantage. Attracting, retaining, and developing people with critical competencies is vital for success. Second, the task of managing a culturally diverse workforce, of harnessing the motivation and efforts of a wide variety of workers, will present a continuing challenge. Ongoing training and development initiatives are critical to meeting the need for competent, well-functioning workforces. The following four trends are driving the demand for well-designed and well-executed programs of workplace learning (Cascio, 2017):
Growing demands for personal and professional development. Among young adults, the most important feature they look for in a new job is the opportunity for continuous learning (Hirsch, 2016). From the perspective of organizations, surveys indicate a strong desire for employees who can “plug and play”—that is, perform with minimal on-the-job training. Unfortunately, only 11% of employers report that they have found such recruits (Abadzi, 2016; Coy, 2014; Weber, 2014). In addition to technical skills, employers are looking for p ...

It begins with introducing the topic and providing definitions of key terms from other authors. It then discusses the importance of training and development for employees and organizations. The research objectives are stated as examining the relationship between training/development and employee performance in the supermarket industry in Karachi, Pakistan. Prior literature and research is reviewed that similarly found a positive relationship between training and improved employee and organizational performance. The methodology and findings of the research are then discussed in more detail.
The document discusses the nature and objectives of training and development in organizations. It defines training and development as processes that impart skills, knowledge, and opportunities for employees to grow. Training aims to improve performance by reducing deficiencies, while development provides general knowledge and attitudes to help employees advance to higher positions. The key inputs of effective training and development programs are skills, education, development, ethics, and decision-making/problem-solving abilities. Such programs provide competitive advantages like improved performance, employee retention, and meeting future skill needs. The training process involves needs assessment, instructional design, evaluation, and ensuring the transfer of learning.

Transfer of Training and Knowledge Sharing Are Important for Nonprofits
Nonprofit organizations such as the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) and government agencies such as the Peace Corps routinely send workers to some of the most dangerous, underdeveloped nations in the world. They rely upon temporary and short-term field workers and volunteers and have small training budgets compared to those of private, for-profit companies. Despite the difficulties they face, nonprofits still manage to train their workers successfully so they can be effective in their mission. It is especially important that what is emphasized in training is used on the job (transfer of training) and that the valuable knowledge that volunteers have gained about a location, its people, and the assistance needed is not lost when they leave the organization (i.e., knowledge sharing occurs).
For example, consider the online course used by Darkness to Light (D2L), an international child abuse prevention, education, and public awareness organization. "Stewards of Children Online" is designed to teach adults how to prevent and recognize signs of sexual abuse in children. The training was developed around "universal truths" to ensure that the basic principles emphasized in the course would be relevant for everyone, regardless of their culture, socioeconomic background, or location. For
185
example, one of the "universal truths" is that it is healthy and good for parents to talk to their children about their personal boundaries.
UNICEF, which provides humanitarian and development assistance to children and mothers in developing countries, uses a blended learning approach. The majority of e-learning programs offered by UNICEF include both CD-ROM and Internet formats, which allows trainees without dependable access to the Internet to train using personal computers available at their location. Course content is broken into modules so individual regions can easily customize content to local culture and situations.
At the Peace Corps, more than 90 percent of training is conducted by local staff in the field. The Peace Corps trains volunteers in the actual perfor.
This document discusses training and development in organizations. It defines training and development and distinguishes them from education. Training involves imparting specific skills to improve current job performance, while development provides general knowledge and attitudes to help employees grow into higher positions. Education involves theoretical classroom learning for a different job. The document outlines the importance of training and development for organizations, including reducing errors, increasing productivity and flexibility, and improving employee retention. It also discusses analyzing training needs to ensure training effectively meets business objectives.

Decolonizing Universal Design for LearningFrederic Fovet
UDL has gained in popularity over the last decade both in the K-12 and the post-secondary sectors. The usefulness of UDL to create inclusive learning experiences for the full array of diverse learners has been well documented in the literature, and there is now increasing scholarship examining the process of integrating UDL strategically across organisations. One concern, however, remains under-reported and under-researched. Much of the scholarship on UDL ironically remains while and Eurocentric. Even if UDL, as a discourse, considers the decolonization of the curriculum, it is abundantly clear that the research and advocacy related to UDL originates almost exclusively from the Global North and from a Euro-Caucasian authorship. It is argued that it is high time for the way UDL has been monopolized by Global North scholars and practitioners to be challenged. Voices discussing and framing UDL, from the Global South and Indigenous communities, must be amplified and showcased in order to rectify this glaring imbalance and contradiction.
This session represents an opportunity for the author to reflect on a volume he has just finished editing entitled Decolonizing UDL and to highlight and share insights into the key innovations, promising practices, and calls for change, originating from the Global South and Indigenous Communities, that have woven the canvas of this book. The session seeks to create a space for critical dialogue, for the challenging of existing power dynamics within the UDL scholarship, and for the emergence of transformative voices from underrepresented communities. The workshop will use the UDL principles scrupulously to engage participants in diverse ways (challenging single story approaches to the narrative that surrounds UDL implementation) , as well as offer multiple means of action and expression for them to gain ownership over the key themes and concerns of the session (by encouraging a broad range of interventions, contributions, and stances).
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has revolutionized the creation of images and videos, enabling the generation of highly realistic and imaginative visual content. Utilizing advanced techniques like Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) and neural style transfer, AI can transform simple sketches into detailed artwork or blend various styles into unique visual masterpieces. GANs, in particular, function by pitting two neural networks against each other, resulting in the production of remarkably lifelike images. AI's ability to analyze and learn from vast datasets allows it to create visuals that not only mimic human creativity but also push the boundaries of artistic expression, making it a powerful tool in digital media and entertainment industries.

2. LEARNING TRANSFER IN LEADERSHIP PROGRAMS
1
The ultimate goal of any training, specifically in a corporate environment, is to guarantee
learners can apply new knowledge or skills in the workplace. Using the learned content in their
day-to-day is called learning transfer (Schunk, 2020). When learners can accomplish this,
organizations start to see the impact on workers' performance and can ultimately help create a
culture change.
However, in most cases, training is designed and delivered to produce results and a long-
term impact, but usually, this is not the case (Martin, 2010, p.88). Understanding training transfer
is critical because it allows learning designers to incorporate or reevaluate training activities and
methodologies to improve training effectiveness in the long term.
The success of today's organization is based on having people with good leadership skills
ready to empower and influence people in their environment to achieve results. That is why
during the last few years, organizations have invested large sums of resources in developing
leadership skills to improve organizational performance. Nevertheless, leadership development's
expected impact has yet to have the intended results.
Most studies related to learning transfer do not consider the content and purpose of the
training. It is essential to consider the differences between teaching hard skills and soft skills as it
impacts diverse aspects and understand the best techniques that can be used to enhance the
likelihood of achieving our objectives. In the case of leadership training, there are a diverse set of
elements that should be analyzed and taken into consideration to improve participants' learning
transfer.
In this paper, we will understand the importance of leadership development initiatives in
corporate environments. It is not enough to evaluate our programs using formative and
3. LEARNING TRANSFER IN LEADERSHIP PROGRAMS
2
summative evaluations or implementing the Kirkpatrick evaluation model to gain insights into
how participants implement the knowledge or skills after training. We must understand how to
design a program that has elements that will promote transfer before, during, and after the
program. This paper will examine the impact of learning transfer and the models used to
understand better how to achieve this. Afterward, a deep dive will be done into the relationship
between learning transfer and leadership development and what elements can be incorporated
before, during, and after the programs that can impact transfer.
This is essential in my current context because, as a learning manager responsible for
leadership programs, I have noticed employees find it hard to implement their new skills in the
workplace. After conducting an impact evaluation survey, I learned that most people applied 2 or
3 skills when they returned from the training but failed to maintain the behavior. They mention
they enjoy the training, feel it is well structured, have excellent faculty members explaining the
concepts, and can remember approximately 60% of the content but fail to transfer it to their day-
to-day. This document will help other learning managers from the organization reflect on what
elements they are incorporating that could impact transfer and will create awareness of our role
to guarantee this happens. I wish to help other learning managers understand that it is not enough
to have good content we must implement other elements during the learning journey to help
learners transfer their knowledge.
Literature review
Leadership training
Organizations, companies, or corporations are built upon people's ability to influence,
empower and ultimately lead others toward organizational goals and strategies. To become high-
4. LEARNING TRANSFER IN LEADERSHIP PROGRAMS
3
performing organizations, they need people that can manage the company and lead the people in
it. To achieve this, it is essential to invest in leadership training as it has the power to influence
and create a change in behaviors and attitudes (Fiedler, 1972, p. 453). In other words, training
people within an organization about leadership helps them develop and learn practical ways to
work with others and manage people. It has been proven that investing in leadership training has
a long-term impact on organizational performance and creates a competitive advantage (Phillips
& Phillips, 2012).
Leadership training programs have been designed to affect knowledge, skills, and
abilities (Lacerenza, 2017, p. 1687) by focusing on self-awareness, improving interpersonal
interactions, and promoting attitude changes (Burk & Collins, 2005, p. 976). Usually, leadership
development programs are created based on the current company's needs and strategy.
Independently of the competencies taught during a leadership development program, it is critical
that leaders not only participate in programs to gain knowledge but that they practice them to
become competent (p. 976).
In general, leadership development content aim at teaching specific soft skills.
Nevertheless, it is essential to be aware that learning and mastering soft skills require more time
and effort as the concepts are usually more abstract than technical skills (Vandergoot et al., 2019,
p. 239). Being a more abstract concept has created specific difficulties for learning departments
to analyze and evaluate their impact and how participants change their behaviors and apply the
concepts.
Learning Transfer
5. LEARNING TRANSFER IN LEADERSHIP PROGRAMS
4
Throughout the literature, there are diverse definitions of what learning transfer means.
According to Kaiser et al. (2013), learning transfer is defined as the “effective ad continuing
application by learners-to their performance of jobs or other individual, organizational, or
community responsibilities-of knowledge and skills gained in the learning activities” (p.6). Other
authors such as Ford and Weissbein (1997) define it as “the application, generalizability, and
maintenance of new knowledge and skills to a wide variety of managerial situations, and
fundamentally examines the extent to which course content is transferred or applied by
participants back in the workplace” (p. 23). There are infinite definitions of learning transfer, but
they have one element in common: participants can apply the content learned regardless of the
context.
Besides its effective application to participants' reality, learners must be capable of
generalizing the learned content and skills to their job and day-to-day for long periods to ensure
transfer occurs (Balwin & Ford, 1988, p.63). When this happens, we have a positive transfer,
when it does not occur, it is called a transfer problem. It encompasses the challenges learners can
have in applying and maintaining their new skills and knowledge in the workplace. When this
occurs, companies should diagnose accurately to understand what elements or factors can
prevent learners from transferring their knowledge and then create a solution for them (Holton et
al., 2001, p.2). After identifying these obstacles, it will be easier for instructional designers to
develop initiatives during the design and facilitation phase for this to occur.
Learning Transfer and leadership training
Although there has been a significant focus on corporate areas to train employees on
leadership skills, and there is awareness of the importance of introducing strategies to increase
learning transfer, the results have not been positive. Today, companies spend a great number of
6. LEARNING TRANSFER IN LEADERSHIP PROGRAMS
5
organizational resources training their workforce, especially on leadership topics (Vandergoot et
al., 2019; Lacerenza et al., 2017, p,1686). Nevertheless, there is a low return on investment and
impact also, it is estimated that learning transfer in this type of program ranges from 10% to 50%
(Culpin et al., 2014). Therefore, there is a need to understand the elements that can be
implemented to improve transfer and have more impact. To understand how learning transfer can
be incorporated, we can analyze different models and see what initiatives can be considered to
improve transfer. Even though we explained different models, we decided to do a deep dive on
the last one as it is easier to connect to the elements an instructional designer can impact.
The Dynamic Transfer Model proposed by Blume et al. (2019) contemplates and
“examines linkages between intentions to transfer, the initial attempts to utilize training, and the
integration of feedback received from the transfer attempt” (p.270). The idea behind this model
is that it is reiterative and that factors such as context and individual factors impact transfer. This
model is divided into 3 big moments (see attachment 1). The first big moment considers the
training process by analyzing participants' level pre-training, how they evolved during the
training, and how post-training can influence behaviors. The next moments propose a framework
to understand the interactions and links within the transfer process. The links and interaction
refer to the intent to transfer, the initial attempt to transfer, and another attempt to transfer based
on evaluation and feedback. One element the model highlights is how early experience and
choices and the interaction learners have with others and in different situations can significantly
impact transfer (Blume, 2019, p.271).
Furthermore, Burke and Collins (2005) propose a framework that can help maximize
learning and skill transfer promotion. This model considers three main features: knowledge base,
learning approach, and practice setting. The first feature, knowledge base, considers two types
7. LEARNING TRANSFER IN LEADERSHIP PROGRAMS
6
of knowledge that can be built: procedure and declarative. The second feature considers the
learning approach tactical (more general skills), linked to procedural knowledge (strategic skills)
and declarative knowledge. Finally, the practice setting or better learning approach could be used
considering the transfer environment.
Another interesting model of transfer was proposed by Burke and Hutchins(2008) (see
attachment 2). This model shows the impact of different elements in learning transfer. This
model is attractive because it combines elements of other models created before. This model
incorporates many of the concepts from Baldwin and Ford (explained in brief) but adds a
differentiating element: trainer characteristics and evaluation. Trainer characteristics become
essential as they impact how participants feel and are treated during the training and how well
they transmit and model the concepts (Burke & Hutchins, 2008, p.121). In terms of evaluation, it
is all about creating accountability for application. Implementing initiatives such as follow-up
sessions and reports post-training helps to make this.
On the other hand, Baldwin and Ford (1988) propose three main elements that must be
considered: training inputs, training outputs, and conditions for transfer (see attachment 3). In the
following section we will explains each element within the training inputs and how it impacts
transfer:
1. Trainee characteristics: This includes personal characteristics, learners' abilities,
and self-efficacy beliefs regarding training. One factor strongly correlated with
skills transfer to the work environment is the motivational level (Tziner et al.,
1991). There are other elements of trainee characteristics related that
organizations can consider when training people that impact participants' capacity
8. LEARNING TRANSFER IN LEADERSHIP PROGRAMS
7
to transfer knowledge. For example, the transfer will be more positive if the
training is connected to the participant's function.
2. Training design: This references design factors such as program content,
curriculum, and learning principles used. A study by Broad and Newstrom (1992)
found that training that has a clear connection with the organizational goals and
strategy will increase the probability of transfer. Another element is the program's
design in terms of sessions. According to Lacerenza et al. (2017), programs with
multiple sessions instead of one mass training session significantly impact
transfer. In other words, it is essential to give participants time to learn the
content, digest it, apply it, and then go back to another training session. Also, it is
critical for instructional designers to ensure that the training has clear and realistic
learning goals, to make good content curation so that only relevant content is
explained, and to have a program that incorporates practice moments alongside
feedback (Burke & Hutchins, 2007). This last part is critical to creating more
positive transfer as it helps learners gain insight into how to correct certain
behaviors. According to Lacerenza et al., 2017, the following elements related to
design impact transfer: delivery methods, methodologies used, and facilitators.
First, face-to-face programs have been shown to significantly impact learning
transfer more than virtual ones. Related to this is whether the training is
mandatory or optional. As stated by the author, motivation to transfer increases
when the training is voluntary instead of mandatory. This has been shown to
impact self-determination and gives participants a sense of choice and autonomy
(Lacerenza et al., 2017). Within a corporate setting, learning managers should
9. LEARNING TRANSFER IN LEADERSHIP PROGRAMS
8
consider how to provide more autonomy to learners regarding the type of training
they do or the training they perform. Second, incorporating diverse learning
methodologies increases learning transfer. Finally, selecting to deliver the training
with external facilitators gives more credibility, importance, and confidentiality,
influencing positive transfer.
3. Work environment: This element considers factors within the work environment
and culture. In this case, work environment factors impact the transfer of training
climate (the relationship between a person's attitude and behavior in their job and
their organizational context). In other words, the transfer climate within a
participant's context can have an impact, positive or negative, on how they apply
the content to their job. There are diverse initiatives that can be implemented and
thought about to help in this aspect—for example, creating opportunities for
participants to practice or promoting the manager´s support. This last element has
proven to be one of the most influential factors (Sørensen, 2017, p.49).
Instructional designers can use the following elements in leadership training to
promote this: coaching moments, creating moments or interactive activities for
supervisors to encourage participants' practice, post-training evaluation of skills
and making sure that the supervisor understands the relevance of the content and
skills in the participant's job functions (Burke & Hutchins, 2007).
Conclusion
No matter the program or area we work in, it is essential to understand how our learners
transfer their knowledge to their daily lives. Learning transfer is not that simple, and therefore
instructional designers must be aware of all the elements they should consider throughout the
10. LEARNING TRANSFER IN LEADERSHIP PROGRAMS
9
training moments. Without this information, making the proper adjustments to learning solutions
that can have an impact is difficult. This is especially important when discussing leadership
programs as they have become strategically important for organizations and because more
elements impact content application.
