The Six Disciplines of Breakthrough Learning

For the past six years, we have been studying the characteristics that differentiate highly-effective training and development departments and programs from less effective ones.

We have discovered six disciplines practiced by the most effective organizations which transcend industry, corporate structure, and program focus:

• Define Business Outcomes
• Design the Complete Experience
• Deliver for Application
• Drive Follow-Through
• Deploy Active Support
• Document Results

These are explored in depth and illustrated in our forth-coming book, The Six Disciplines of Breakthrough Learning: How to Turn Learning and Development into Business Results (San Francisco: Pfeiffer, 2006).

Insight, practice and tools for applying the Six Disciplines are available through Six Disciplines Workshops presented around country.

The authors - Cal Wick, Roy Pollock, and Andy Jefferson - are available for consultation and presentations. Write directly to Cal Wick (wick@forthillcompany.com).
