Does Experience Based Training and Development Work?
Does Experience Based Training and Development Work?
Adapted from Vincent S. Litterini's thesis: An Examination of Perceived Supervisory Change to Production Rate, Product Rejection Rate, and Delivery Efficiency. University of New Hampshire, September 2001. University of New Hampshire Publications
THE RESEARCH
The purpose of the study was to examine the effects of an experience-based training and development program on the supervision abilities of participants. The changes were measured using Kirkpatrick's four levels of evaluation model.
Sixteen participants were interviewed three months after the training to evaluate bottom line earnings for the company and related changes in participants. The participants were also interviewed as to which elements at the training were beneficial.
THE RESULTS
The results of this research revealed significant behavior changes in participants which positively affected their organization's bottom-line. These changes in behaviors provided savings, identified by supervisors, of several hundred thousand dollars. The savings came in the categories of reduced product rejection rate, improved product delivery efficiency, and improved production rate
THE IMPLICATIONS
The majority of the participants identified the experience-based training and development component as the most effective teaching methodology.

Re: what position to request?
- Hi Michael,
Great suggestion from David, or you could try something around a design consultancy,
How about Website Design Consultant, Design and Development Manager, Website Support and Development Manager or maybe Internet Business Development Consultant.
Ultimately whatever you are comfortable with and good luck for the future,
Mal.
Books for Women Entrepreneurs
- There's a thread for good books in the Resources folder, but it doesn't target books for businesswomen particularly, so I figured I'd start such a thread here.
It doesn't matter how successful you are in your business - it's always possible to learn something new.
In subsequent posts I give Table of Contents and brief descriptions for various titles - most of them devoted to the businesswoman - and sometimes a review. If anyone else has read a review, or has read the book and found it useful, please comment!

On that note, does anybody have any experiences with the Business Development Bank of Canada that they would like to share? I have been considering approaching them for a business loan.

I'll be working with the BDC later this month on a few projects. From what i've been told they are really great when it comes to small business. Their loans have a little higher interest but their payment terms are a lot easier to swallow. I can give you a contact if you need.
