Brain Science: Achieve the Optimal Learning Experience with Burst and Boosts

Art Kohn, Professor, Portland State University School of Business

American corporations spend about $60 billion a year training their employees but research shows that today’s employees only retain a small fraction of training content- and an even smaller fraction ultimately gets transferred back to their workplaces.

Professor, writer and consultant Art Kohn, will challenge that what we do after training can be more important than what we do during training. Master core principles for developing engaging training programs and learn techniques that help people retrieve key points in the hours and days after training.
