Organizations are tying to solve how to reduce time away from work while ensuring that knowledge transfer takes place. For every hour a billable employee sits in class there is a direct correlation to lost billable time. There is also the risk of lost opportunities as key employees may not be available. The lost revenue while employees are in class amounts to millions of dollars every year.

The solution many companies try is to eliminate training or to encroach into the employee’s non-work time. There must be a better way; a way that does not throw the work-life equation out of balance. What organizations need to do is to reduce the time for training. While they are at it, they should also increase the quality of the training being delivered. Reducing the time for training while increasing the quality to many may seem to be in direct conflict with each other. How can an organization increase quality while reducing the time to learn new skills?
