“How can you avoid wasting money on frivolous training?” our Founder Evan Hackel asks in “Know the Difference between Edutainment and Productive Training,” his new article in The GIS Professional.  We invite you to read the whole article, which appears on Page 8.

Here is an overview of some of Evan’s advice . . .

• Think of training as a strong combination of education, engagement and use.
• Before hiring an outside trainer, speak with other organizations where he or she has worked.
• Define outcomes and make sure your trainer can reach them.
• Help your trainer know who your trainees are.
• Work with your trainer to develop meaningful metrics.
• Monitor sessions and make sure that training stays on track.

Evan Concludes . . .

“It’s important to work closely with professional trainers who don’t only entertain, but educate. That’s the difference between training that’s frivolous and training that offers a good ROI on your investment.”
