Independent research confirms that as little as 13% of what is learned in a training or development programme is retained and used after three months.

Often development investment in law firms is, frankly, a waste of resources.

So what are the contributors to this lack of effectiveness in linking training to improved performance?  Some of the factors are:

• Lack of commitment from key stakeholders
• No distinct link between development and real firm goals
• Lack of understanding of how to develop people from the partnership
• Little or no commitment from partners to ongoing support and development
• A mistaken belief that development doesn’t have to be part of a planned programme of learning
• Lack of belief or cynicism from senior management that training really could make a difference
• Legal experts with high technical expertise need a different skill set and approach when working on management, leadership and business development issues.

RTPLegal are committed to linking training to real business goals, to ensuring clear measures are in place right from the start to evaluate return on expectation and investment. We want to be judged by a tangible return to the firm.
