In this eye-opening Intentional Agribusiness Leader episode, Mark and Cowboy Coach Jon Anderson expose the shocking data behind why most corporate training fails and reveal the exact framework successful companies use to get measurable results from their people development investments.

WHAT INTENTIONAL TRAINING BUYERS DO DIFFERENTLY


Stop These Training Mistakes:

● Investing in training without clear learning objectives or measurable outcomes

● Using the cookie-cutter approach - putting everyone through the same program regardless of need

● Buying training reactively to symptoms instead of addressing root causes

● Never measuring if training actually changed behavior or delivered ROI

● Tolerating "death by PowerPoint" sessions that disengage your team

Start These Results-Driven Behaviors:

● Setting specific, measurable learning objectives before any training investment

● Identifying who actually needs training and filtering participants strategically

● Connecting training to clear business drivers and expected behavioral changes

● Implementing measurement systems to track behavior change and ROI

● Expecting minimum 4:1 return on investment from every training dollar spent
