Despite significant investment in training programs, annual training program reuse hovers at a rate of about 50% annually, meaning that approximately half of a given company’s training portfolio is not being utilized annually.

This is especially problematic because old training programs still contain valuable information developed in cooperation with a company’s subject matter experts.
