Session Title |
Beyond TWI into the 21st Century… applications
that extend our view of training.
|

Session Abstract |
The
creators of the TWI methods sought to extend the
development of the “J” programs after the war
but as we know this did not happen as they had
planned. Others used new research about adult
learning to expand the methods and approaches to
training and sustained the development
tradition. The original methods were ideal for
simple physical tasks, and limited relational
issues. What we need to see in today’s more
complex learning environments, is the use of
further methods and research that followed the
original J program development, ideas that the
early developers would have embraced.
We will present three different applications of
these exponential developments to demonstrate
how the original ideas were expanded to deal
with more complex learning challenges. The
practical environment, the methods and the
deployed approaches are varied, as you would
expect, so we will look at deployment of
extended methods in development engineering for
an equipment manufacturer, orientation of new
employees in mid range complexity jobs, and new
skills for old hands who think they know it all.
In each case the roles of leadership are
included in the training process with new
methods based on the original JR approach.
