Retain v 2.0 Launches with New Features and Back Office Reports

Welcome to The Learning Retention Company, LLC where information gained becomes knowledge applied. Each year companies and organizations spend millions on training their personnel. Although training can be a great motivator the benefits are often short term and fall short of the planned outcome. Learning Reinforced is a company designed to take the learner to the next step. In Donald Kirkpatrick’s training evaluation model we concentrate on Level Three “Behavior” which leads to Level Four “Results”. 
Our advanced technological systems and methods provide the learner with positive reinforcement of the key learning objectives in a real-time working environment while they are on the job. Thus information gained in training becomes knowledge applied on the job. Observation and assessment over time are needed to determine change and the relevance of that change. Our newest LMS based product is called Retain.

According to ASTD’s 2008 State of the Industry report, companies in the United States spend an estimate $135B on employee learning and development.  While this investment level continues to grow, an overwhelming focus on the learning event itself does not align with where the real value is created.  The chart above estimates training investment and value produced by learning phase.

So while 50 percent of the value in a given learning process is produced after the training event, only 5 percent of a typical training budget is dedicated to this phase.

As a result, companies are looking for an effective way to sustain the momentum that is typically built in the learning event and continue to reinforce key learning points long after the training is conducted.



The Solution
Retain is a simple and powerful web-based solution that delivers scenario-based learning reinforcement via email.   It can be used effectively to reinforce key learning points for any learning event.   Learners receive and respond to short scenarios anywhere they receive email.  Once they respond, a follow-up email with coaching and feedback is sent immediately.  The whole process takes less than a minute.
As learners respond, Retain aggregates the data and provides real-time performance data using a dynamic web-based reporting system.  Retain quickly targets where learning “worked” and where it didn’t.  This valuable information can be used to target follow-up training and make adjustments to the original training.
Why it Works

• Spacing learning over time stimulates recall and increases retention.
• Repeating key learning points increases retention of that knowledge.
• Putting content into context through scenario-based learning increases learning transfer.
• Using email makes it unobtrusive and quick for the learner to participate.
• Retain is easy to use for L&D professionals providing them with actionable data.
