13 Barriers to Implementing Learning Transfer
– and how to beat them
In Learning and Development we are all aware of the need for learning transfer of training programmes to ensure they achieve the required business impact. Yet, L&D professionals are still ignoring the elephant in the room. This ebook shares the most common barriers to the implementation of learning transfer processes and, more importantly, how to overcome them.
How to Reboot Training for
Tangible Business Impact
Updated 3rd edition!
Paul initially wrote the ebook in 2020 because so many people, due to COVID-19, took what they delivered in the classroom and moved it onto a virtual platform. In effect, they were ‘webinising’ their training course.
This quick and dirty emergency solution has shortcomings which won’t stand the test of time.
Get this free ebook to learn how to fix this problem now that we are leaving the pandemic behind and can focus on the future of learning, remote or otherwise.

How to find out what stops people being capable
Capability is a slippery concept. It’s also one that many organisations don’t focus on. Yet capability actually comes down to a simple question: can the worker do the task at the point of work? Find out how to decide what you need to do to turn incapability into capability.
How to design learning workflows that ensure learning transfer
L&D professionals want learning transfer, so the learning is operationalised in the day-to-day flow of work in a useful and positive way.
This guide will take you through the design steps to create a learning workflow that is guaranteed to change behaviour, and explain how you can deliver this.
How to support new managers so they become capable more quickly
How do managers in your organisation get started? Sink or swim? There’s a better way to help you minimise the risk of losing new managers – and Paul outlines it in this thought-provoking and practical Guide.
What their interdependence means for you
There is a strong link between leadership and learning, and this guide explains that link and where engagement fits into the mix. The Guide also shows how the organisational learning environment can act as a brake or accelerator on the effects of leadership.
How to harness informal learning without killing it
It’s learning that just happens. It isn’t scheduled. It’s spontaneous.
In this Guide, discover why it’s the powerhouse of learning and how you can start to make it work for your organisation.
e-learning vs e-Reference – a vital distinction
Maybe this Guide will fundamentally change your thinking, or perhaps it will confirm that you’re on the right track.
Either way, it’s worth the few minutes it takes to read it. And it might save you from making an expensive mistake.

“I just wanted to say ‘well done’”. I get a stack of junk every day in my inbox and I am constantly deleting rubbish. I get a few people who I know who occasionally get the balance of content and brevity right, but it is rare, however, you surprise me every week. It’s brief, it’s useful and there is more on the site if I need it. Well done!”
Earl Lynch, Managing Director
“The first email I read each Monday on my personal email is yours. It is always refreshing and lets me take a few moments about my thoughts, desires and actions in personal and professional life. So, many thanks for that and please continue.”
