Reverse Training Design challenges corporate training to stop falling short of what it promises - business impact and lasting performance improvement - by flipping the standard paradigm and 'starting at the end!' Instead of beginning with a lot of content, start with your 'final exam', and work in reverse from there to design, develop, implement your training program.Traditional training has been instructor-centered, prioritizing the entertaining delivery of detailed content, while treating participants like buckets that just need to be filled up with information. Reverse Training Design is zealously learner-centered, and shows how to respect a person's brain so that your content actually gets learned, remembered, and performed once back in the workplace.Mark Mrohs draws upon 40 years of designing and delivering corporate training. He developed and conducted the first World Bank funded solar technician training program in India, and has delivered training programs in over 20 countries. He has produced training materials in print, video, DVD, and VR, and is currently exploring AI-based interactive learning.In Reverse Training Design, he synthesizes a sweeping model for instructional designers that is based on learning science, cognitive psychology, and hard experience. By 'starting at the end' you are practically ensured to get the results you want.
