 Same Knowledge, Half the Training Time
Web-based Instruction: Design and Technical Issues which Influence Training Effectiveness  A recent study conducted by Dr. Traci Sitzmann and Katherine Ely from The Advanced Distributed Learning Initiative examined 208 training courses to compare the effectiveness of Web-based instruction and blended learning to classroom instruction. Learn how you can apply the lessons learned from this in-depth research and how you can optimize your Lean Six Sigma instructional methods. Review the ADL research findings presentation.RESOURCES
Recorded Webcast - "Intrusive Coaching: Increasing Your Belts' Capability, Confidence, and Control"  You can’t teach a kid to ride a bike sitting in his seat in a classroom. Teaching Lean Six Sigma techniques carries the same challenge — students have to transform their ‘head knowledge’ into skills and abilities. Trainers and coaches often struggle with how to best mentor students through this transformation, especially across dispersed environments. Lenovo and the University of Wisconsin – Milwaukee have successfully overcome this dilemma by freeing up classroom time with high impact e-Learning and re-focusing instructors on structured, individualized coaching. Watch the recorded Webcast. "Taking Lean Six Sigma Beyond Manufacturing Survey Results"  The Aberdeen Group has released a new study on Six Sigma initiatives, which continue to produce better results than other less rigorous programs. The survey of over 600 business executives reveals impressive performance improvements achieved through Lean Six Sigma programs and does a solid job of covering the basics and revealing recent trends in program development and success.

 As the recent collapse on Wall Street shows, we are often ill-equipped to deal with uncertainty and risk. Yet every day we base our personal and business plans on uncertainties, whether they be next month’s sales, next year’s costs, or tomorrow’s stock price. In The Flaw of Averages, author Sam Savage describes common avoidable mistakes in assessing risk in the face of uncertainty. Savage, a professor at Stanford University, has a talent for presenting complex concepts in plain English. He shows why plans based on average assumptions are wrong, on average, in areas as diverse as healthcare, accounting, the War on Terror, and climate change. The Flaw of Averages, published this year by John Wiley & Sons, is available at Amazon.com.
