When training initiatives aren’t successful, it’s easy to blame your budget. If only you’d had enough money, it would have had better results. But more often than not it’s not the size of your budget, but how you’re using what you’ve been given. Budgets have been an eLearning scapegoat for as long as eLearning has existed; unfortunately, more money won’t necessarily fix something that’s fundamentally broken. Instead, learn how to use what you have to increase training effectiveness.
1. The Definition of Insanity
You’ve probably heard the Albert Einstein quote where he defines insanity as doing the same thing over and over while expecting a different result. That’s where many training initiatives go so wrong: they’re just different iterations of the same thing. Sure, they might have some fancy new graphics or a new delivery method, but if you’re using your budget to simply create and refashion the same old learning, it’s not your budget’s fault that learners aren’t falling for it.
