While there may be retention of some of the material, most gets lost in
return to routine or the burden of modifying generic information to fit your
own environment. If there are fifteen to twenty different firms attending a
seminar, some of the information may fit some of those attending for some of the situations that sometimes occur.
The answer to reaping the greatest benefits from a training seminar is customization. Like a suit off the rack which may look good but still requires
tailoring to become a perfect fit, so the custom-made training undergoes
alterations to fit the situation in your firm, with your own people and your
own issues.
This perfect fit reflects the psychology and the culture of your firm. In
addition, important aspects of training are specifically geared to the needs determined by the person in charge. The benefits of interactive training are thereby enhanced by this tailoring technique.
