Actually Donald Clark's post title is Compliance Killing Training . But I prefer mine ;-) Donald nails it. And every now and then it takes a sobering moment to see that 90% of what training organizations do is done out of fear.

It's a crude attempt to reduce risk by delivering crude ... development and LMS industry. Automating the mundane process of compliance training. It has NOTHING to do with learning.

I went on a rant in this post regarding compliance training . Donald Clark started it with his post on Compliance killing training . Mary Kay Lafurno comments: "Yes, you are right. But honestly, I know its a blog, and your stage to rant, but what can anyone do about this? It is what it is." She is right. "It is what it is." Is your industry heavily regulated? Do you find yourself just cranking out the "click2death" online courses just so you can send the entire workforce through it and therefore feel good about "being compliant?" If you do it better, faster and cheaper ...

Stacey Gawrys and Kevin Bennett from Banker's Edge . The presentation was about how to add simple games to compliance training in the financial industry which is highly conservative.

Many times, training or learning events are seen by executives or management as a cure for something that cannot be "fixed" by mere training or learning events. For example, ethics, diversity and compliance training in response to specific and repeated incidents cannot and will not be effective if a support structure is not in place to ensure that after the training is over, the employees have incentive to be in compliance, act ethically or value diversity. Remember ... training, consider pushing back. Or when a compliance officer is just trying to check off a box on a list of compliance ...

I was doing some benchmarking the other day between a few different organizations. One question that was asked was, what are the "no-brainer" groups of employees to train? (And there may be a second question, what are the no-brainer topics to train, like leadership, ethics, sexual harassment, etc). To me, the obvious groups are: new employees ; high potential people ; call center employees ; sales people; and anyone who has to have certification or compliance ; anyone who has to demonstrate a mastery level (like a pilot, although this differs from organization ...
