Ebbinghaus’s “Forgetting Curve”

Why Does Training Fail?

  • Training fails when it is dry, tedious, pedantic and to refuses to connect to people where they are.
  • Training fails when it is loses sight of its main objectives.
  • Training fails because tellin’ ain’t teachin’.

Training that Matters

HG(II)S works to remove these potholes in education and corporate training by developing media and instructional programs that matter. Our approach is to create and deliver educational experiences that involve and engage the learner. We utilize life and the workplace as the staging grounds for discovery, synthesis, analysis and practice. We have been working to invert the classroom and move the process of traditional training away from the passive “data dumps” of the bottling company approach toward interactive exploration, discovery and problem solving that better match the ways people work and learn.

“Learning is not the product of teaching. Learning is the product of the activity of learners.”
