Description

Adoption Philosophy NorthStar Knowledge training, facilitation and mentoring services lead to knowledge adoption utilizing learning principles based upon the latest research in cognitive science and educational psychology. "Post training "fall off" results in trainees performing even more poorly than before training, often becoming discouraged and abandoning the knowledge transfer efforts. Companies can mitigate the "fall off" with a support system that fosters the cultural growth objectives during and after training. "Maximizing Transfer of Training - Transfer of Learning" by Harold D. Stolovitch and Jean-Gabriel Maurice. Anticipated vs. Actual Results NorthStar recognizes the importance of the three stages of a learning experience (before, during, after) and the significance of each to a successful outcome. NorthStar's "Assess, Deliver, Adopt" philosophy bridges the "Anticipated vs. Actual" results gap to: ensure learning adoption, increased performance, and aid the culture transformation resulting in measurable outcomes. NorthStar's three-phase adoption process implemented with our D5 Program Development and Deployment framework is a standard feature included with all learning offerings to maximize a successful outcome. Today's learner's seeking training are faced with options that do not address the "Assessment" or "Adoption" phases and inconsistently address the "Deliver" phase. To create the most effective learning experience, NorthStar begins with a "needs assessment", to fully understand the goals, objectives, and pains. During the assessment phase, NorthStar takes the time to understand the knowledge gaps, environment, and stakeholder needs to ensure the curriculum is aligned to meet the objectives and deliver the desired results. Working with the stakeholders, target performance objectives are identified to appropriately adapt the content and delivery method to meet both performance and business objectives, ensuring a valuable learning experience. NorthStar delivers consistent and exceptional learning using the "Head First Way". Learning is more than pushing facts into your head. First you have to understand it, then you have to remember it so you can apply your new knowledge to your daily tasks. NorthStar utilizes the "Head First Way" to ensure an exceptional experience with successful transfer of knowledge and even more importantly, to ensure the information is MEMORABLE! Head First is a brain-based approach built upon the latest research in cognitive science, neurobiology, and educational psychology that applies the following learning principles: Make it visual. Images are far more memorable than words alone, and make learning more effective (up to 89% improvement in recall and transfer studies). It also makes a greater impact. Use a conversational and personalized style. In five out of five recent studies, learners performed up to 40% better on post-learning tests if the content spoke directly to the participant, using a first person, conversational style rather than taking a formal tone. Tell stories instead of lecturing. Use casual language.
