In this episode, Liz and Rachel share a recent experience working with a large, global, capital equipment organization to create a unified training strategy. The company had multiple business units in multiple regions - all working in silos to develop training content, which was focused on the products' features, but lacked any explanation of their benefits. Through interviews, meetings with a core team, and the review of current materials, Cumby Consulting developed a global training strategy with a new organizational structure. The result: consistent and efficient product training covering both the features and the benefits with unified messaging across the globe.

In the 1980s, researchers at the Center for Creative Leadership created the 70-20-10 model for learning, saying that 70% of managerial learning should come from hand-on experience, 20% from others, and 10% from formal training. But more recent research from the Training Industry, shows that a variable OSF (On-the-Job, Social, Formal) ratio is better suited. In this episode, we discuss this research and what we think is the ideal OSF ratio for rep and physician training. Related Resources: Want a partner in developing your advanced training strategy?
