3. A follow up study of 5,000 Course Participants
and their Managers to assess the
benefits of the
Scotwork Negotiating Skills
training course

4. Investing???... in Training?
Every year industry and commerce spend billions of Pounds, Euros, Dollars etc. on
Management Development. The overall results evidently produce better management
performance - but how do you assess the contribution of any one element? How do
you weigh up the relative benefits of competing courses in the same management dis-
cipline?
With other products and services, it is possible to measure objective criteria; response
times, reliability, copies per minute.
Information-based topics can be assessed by a formal exam and pass rates can be
compared, given a large enough sample; but with a SKILLS course the change in
performance is much harder to measure. The measures are more subjective, there is
no control group against which to gauge any improvement and the trainee has to have
had the chance to use the skills in the workplace. Some of the benefits such as “im-
proved use of time”, “improved confidence” are very difficult to measure. All training
produces some measure of benefit to the participant, so how to compare those bene-
fits relative to other courses?
We believe that the SCOTWORK NEGOTIATING SKILLS course does produce a result
which can be measured in financial terms and in 1991 we set out to prove it.
We assessed the impact of the course as reported by the participants, we then added
a study of their line managers’ opinions of the change in performance, and finally we
looked for other comparable research against which we could benchmark our results.
Over 15,000 participants and 5,000 of their managers have taken part in this survey.
This report contains the results from 5,000 participants who attended the Scotwork
course in 2004, 2005 and 2006; and 620 of their managers.

So many handouts from so many courses end up in so

RELATIONSHIPS and their manager inviting them to complete an on-line
questionnaire.
There were several challenges: we did not know who the
managers were, the managers may have had several of
their staff attend the course, would they complete a form
for every one of them? The managers might be less com-
mitted to the course and therefore less likely to fill out a
questionnaire and, if they themselves had not attended
the course, would they even recognise improved negoti-

17. Conclusions
We can tell from our clients’ positive reactions when they
see the survey data, particularly as it relates to their own
people, that this study provides a unique insight into the
direct benefits of the Scotwork course.
It surprises us that more management training
companies do not conduct and publish this type of
follow-up study.
We are also proud of our survey response rates with 31%
of all course participants taking the time to give us feed-
back and to the 13.2% of managers who responded. In
some countries the response rates are even higher: 47%
of Slovak participants and 45% of Italian managers
replied. We are working on strategies for increasing
these response rates with the objective of reaching 50%
response.
Comparing the results of the 1995 - 1999 survey with this
latest study, we can see a broad improvement in almost
every category; unfortunately two figures that we have
been unable to improve upon are the 98% of managers
who say the training investment was worthwhile, and the
99% of participants who would, or already have,
recommended the Scotwork course!
It is gratifying to see the improvement in the rate at
which managers brief, de-brief and follow through on
training:
Participants being briefed by their manager beforehand
rose from 62% to 72%
Managers de-briefing participants after the course rose
from 47% to 53%
Action planning and goal setting rose from 22% to 26%
Review of those plans rose from 12% to 16%
We believe that the introduction of the Scotwork Briefing
Document has assisted in this improvement. We hope
that the launch of the Scotwork Extended Learning
Process ™ will continue the improvement.
The Scotwork teams study these results and the feed-
back to the literal questions, to identify areas where we
can improve. The biggest changes between the 1999
study and the present one are:
The previous studies were conducted after 6 months
and we now follow up after 3 months. This has removed
the 16% of participants who previously had reported sav-
ing double the course fee in the period 3 to 6 months
after the course.
We have moved from a paper survey to an on-line
survey.
SCOTWORK is committed to continuing to develop the
Negotiating Skills Course to ensure that we maintain our
place as the market leader. We intend to carry on with
the Participants and Managers Surveys to measure the
effectiveness of our skills training and to publish the re-
sults. We hope that this will continue to demonstrate to
our clients that they are getting a good return on their in-
vestment.

18. History and Methodology
This project was born out of stories from previous course participants about their
negotiating successes.
In 1991, in order to attempt to quantify the value of our training course, we appointed an
independent consultancy to conduct some discussion groups drawn from course
attendees. From this we devised a pilot questionnaire which was completed by some 300
previous course participants during 1992. This preliminary survey allowed us to refine our
techniques and focus on the areas of greatest interest.
The survey began in 1993 with the participant questionnaire and we added the managers’
questionnaire in 1994. At that time only those attending the UK courses were surveyed.
In the second survey which ran from 1995 to 1999 we included participants from our
larger offices including France, Germany, Australia and South Africa. Up until 2002 we had
a paper questionnaire using reply-paid envelopes.
The survey was suspended between 2002 and 2004 while we developed software to run
the survey on-line, with the participants being contacted by email. The present survey
began in 2004, in English, and progressively we have included 17 of the 19 languages in
which the Scotwork course is delivered.
We would be happy to share our data and our methods with legitimate interested parties.
I should like to say a personal thank you to the 14,000 people who have assisted in this
research project at its various stages so far.
