The document discusses issues with learning transfer in training programs. It notes that in the US, over $134 billion is spent on training annually but only 10-30% results in changed job performance. When factoring in opportunity costs and trainee wages, the real cost of ineffective training is much higher. The document introduces the Learning Transfer System Inventory (LTSI), which measures 16 factors that influence learning transfer across ability, motivation, and work environment dimensions. While motivation to transfer is generally good, the work environment often lacks support from supervisors and accountability. The LTSI provides a way to diagnose issues and track performance change over time to improve learning transfer and training ROI.
