Knowledge Network Orientation

The Corporate University's goal is to support its learners through the educational process and back into the workplace – by providing an orientation program that aids you and your organization in realizing maximum benefit. The orientations are designed to assist participants and their supervisor in setting expectations and emphasizing the importance on transferring new skills and knowledge into the workplace.

Survey & Research Services

By partnering with the research team at The Corporate University, you can gain access to the accurate, current information you need to make informed, data-driven decisions. Our research professionals will work with you, from a consultative approach, asking thorough questions and listening to your needs. Based on that input, we will develop a customized, expert approach that provides your organization with knowledge regarding the current business environment, or with the attitudes, behaviors or belief of your research sample.    We offer a full line of comprehensive services including online and telephone surveys, focus groups, environmental scans, interviews and data analysis. We can provide you with the research tools and resources you need to better make crucial decisions about your strategy, people, prospects or products.

Program Impact Framework

Ensuring that each educational opportunity provides the maximum on-the-job payoff requires a planned,  systematic approach that includes the learner, his/her manager and the trainer with interactions both prior to and following the actual training event.

The Program Impact Framework is a value-added set of tools that support partner organizations in their efforts to achieve the greatest possible learning during training, and the application of the new skills and knowledge post-training. The approach includes setting shared expectations regarding what is to be learned and why it is important or relevant to the learner’s organization. It also includes specific expectations regarding application of the new newly acquired skills.
How can you tie employee training/development to the goals of your organization? The learner and his/her supervisor can use the Employee Development Worksheet to outline these important connections. Having discussions about learning expectations, guided by a tool like the Employee Development Worksheet, is the single most important factor in ensuring that learners effectively apply their new knowledge and that you get the greatest return on your training investment.   .
In the course of any training event, participants have a number of “ah ha!†moments as they see opportunities to apply a specific technique or bit of knowledge to their day-to-day work. The Goal Planning Worksheet can be used during the learning experience to capture these moments and plan how to implement their new learning.

Learners are encouraged to discuss with their supervisors what they learned from the educational experience and their goals for applying it in the workplace.
