The current approach to training - sitting in classes watching Powerpoint presentations - has produced very limited results.
We learn and grow through experience.
We learn by practicing, by experimenting and making mistakes but our real world offers little opportunity to safely practice.
So what is the alternative?
Create a practice field….a “Work Simulator” environment for your training goals.
Method: The primary issue we confront is much deeper than which tools or processes to teach, although both are important.
We need an EFFECTIVE method for teaching before we attempt to teach any tools or processes.

New Method For Learning - Pendaran has developed a practice field, a flight simulator for business, operations and service industries...
From 1940 to 1990, the number of aviation accidents due to pilot error remained steady, at about 65%. Since 1990, the number of such incidents has dropped dramatically to less than 30%. Since 2001, there has been only one crash in the United States attributed to pilot error. The dramatic reduction in aviation accidents was the result of a realistic flight simulator introduced in the mid 1980s. Prior to the introduction of the flight simulator, pilots had the body of knowledge but no opportunity to safely practice applying that knowledge. The flight simulator changed that. Imagine a similar improvement made possible in manufacturing, product development, hospitals or other business environments. |

The following comments were made several months after training and reflect participants' experience implementing what was learned.
"We’re generating positive cash flow...Our best record year. Cost went down, productivity went up; Safety was there." -Area Manager
The Business Flight Simulator concept has been implemented at Intel Corp. for several thousand employees and at Ford Motor Company for more than 6000 employees. Pendaran launched its LEAN Work Simulator at seven steel mini-mill sites within the E. C. Levy Company in 2008.
"Something I'll hold on to for the rest of my life. Really helped not just with the workplace, but with the home life... Where to cut waste in my life." -Mechanic
