Corporate Training and Technology Guides

Guides based on our field experience, designed to make decision-making easier for teams planning corporate training, artificial intelligence, and technology competitions.

What AI training should be given to employees?

AI training for employees should be determined by role. A short common foundation covering data rules and output verification for all employees; generative AI tools and prompt writing for business units; strategy and risk for managers; AI-assisted development for software teams; and application development training such as RAG and agent architectures for data teams are appropriate.

How is the impact of corporate training measured?

The impact of corporate training is measured by comparing the pre- and post-training values of a metric defined before the training begins. A satisfaction survey alone is not sufficient; what truly needs to be measured is whether participants apply what they learned on the job and whether this translates into business outcomes. The common framework is the Kirkpatrick model, which consists of the reaction, learning, behavior, and results levels.

How to conduct a corporate training needs analysis?

A corporate training needs analysis is conducted by starting from the company's business goal, identifying which teams need to perform which tasks differently to achieve that goal, and then assessing individuals' current competencies through surveys, interviews, and hands-on evaluations. The output of the analysis is a concise table showing, for each team, the target behavior, the current gap, whether that gap can be closed through training, and how success will be measured.

In-house (company-specific) training or open enrollment training?

If a team needs to gain the same competency while working with company-specific data or processes, or if confidentiality is a concern, in-house (company-specific) training is the better choice; if only one or two people need to be trained for a specific skill or certification, open enrollment training is more suitable. The decision is made by jointly evaluating the number of participants, the need to tailor the content to the organization, and schedule flexibility.

Online vs. In-Person Corporate Training: Which Should You Choose and When?

The choice between online and in-person corporate training should be based less on the format itself and more on the subject matter, the geographic distribution of the team, and the need for hands-on practice. Live online training is better suited for equipping dispersed teams with knowledge and tool skills, while in-person training is more appropriate for topics requiring intense team interaction, workshops, or physical equipment. Blended programs that use both in sequence often combine the strengths of each format.
