Guessing is not a strategy: How to build decision velocity with AI and real-time data
June 10, 2026 | Live Webinar
Jim Clemmer, training consultant, recently wrote about how he didn't like experiential learning like wilderness experiences. While there are many workers that project managers would like to abandon in the woods, I have to agree. And this is not the only type of training that can be a waste of time and money. His two points are critical: The content must be useful and immediately applicable.
It's strange that these two points have been known to training departments for decades, but they have not driven improvements in training as much as you would think. If so, we would have very small training "chunks" online and much more organized coaching for workers while in projects or for special problem-solving efforts.
In your training plan, fight for the development and delivery of immediately useful content. Bring gloves, your opponents may have already planned long boring lectures. Or a rafting trip.
