"Just-in-time"
training refers to training that's provided right at
the moment it is needed. Although all
training is supposed to help us do our jobs better, there is always
the question whether it will really pay off, whether we really
will have the opportunity to put the training to work. In the
training business this concern has its own jargon term. It's labeled
ROI: Return on Investment. To the rescue: "Just-in-time" training,
training that is provided right before it is needed, . . . at
the last minute, . . . i.e. "Just-in-time."
As clever as the idea of "Just-in-time" training
is, it does not lend itself to all training.
In fact, it probably has very limited application. Basic background
education, for one, does not lend itself
to "Just-in-time" training. On the other hand, if your team is
about to create an advisory committee -- a CP Technique that's
a lot easier to get into than to get out of -- it would be helpful
if you and your colleagues could order up a mini-course on the
DOs and DON'Ts of advisory committees . . .
To have such a mini-course available
whenever you need it, so you can expose yourself to it just in
time, that's the idea we had in mind as we produced these videotapes
and CDs. We plan to produce an expanding menu of
videotapes, CDs, and DVDs. You and your team members will find
it useful to not only view them but review them again and
again, to immunize yourself from making the errors that you otherwise
are likely to make.
Please visit this page periodically; we will
-- slowly but surely -- expand what's available.
