Hosted by Jeff Walter, Founder and CEO of LatitudeLearning
The Training Impact Podcast focuses on Partner Training Programs and how to maximize their impact on organizations. Iām Jeff Walter, host of the Training Impact Podcast, and Founder and CEO of LatitudeLearning. Iāve been a member of the Learning and Development industry for over twenty years. During that time, weāve accomplished much as an industry yet weāve ignored two important dimensions of our industry: Partners and Programs.
Partner Training (i.e. training resellers, franchises, authorized service providers, customers, suppliers, etc.) is the fastest growing segment of our industry and yet thereās little thought leadership on the unique challenges L&D professionals face training partners. Instead the industry focuses almost exclusively on challenges of employee training.
Managing Training Programs is what we do for a living and yet thereās little thought leadership on how to do this for maximum strategic effect. Instead the industry focuses almost exclusively on tactical course level techniques of instruction.
The Training Impact Podcast is my humble attempt to explore these two neglected dimensions of the Learning and Development industry: Partners and Programs. I will be interviewing partner training program managers and discuss the challenges they face training partners and techniques they use to manage those programs for maximum impact. Along the way Iāll also share insights weāve developed exploring partner training programs. It should be an exciting journey! Thank you for joining me, and thank you for listening.
