Didn't We Do Training On That?
Have you done a training only to hear yourself asking, "Didn't we do training on that?" If so, you're not alone. In a McKinsey survey, only 25% of managers reported that training changed an employee's performance.
It's not just organizations who are saying that training isn't working. 43% of employees said that their training isn't helping them do their jobs. 90% say it's important that training is engaging and fun, and we all know that most training is not engaging or fun.

- If you're frustrated that they keep making stupid mistakes...
then we should talk.
We help organizations close the gap between their training and their employee behavior by designing training programs that stick.

CASE STUDIES
Industries We Work With
Government | Construction | Oil and Gas | Utility
CRITICAL THINKING
Public Works
With 10, 20 or more years of experience, employees thought they knew what to expect and were less aware of adverse consequences than they should be, given the potential for catastrophic damage to property and life.
OUR RESULTS
- 84% reported thinking critically more often
- 75% reported prompting critical thinking in their team more often
- 70% reported identifying more potential hazards
- 80% reported identifying more unintended consequences
JOB BRIEF ADOPTION
Utility
Our client launched an ambitious initiative to improve the Pre-Job
Briefing form and promote its adoption throughout the
organization.
Over the course of 4 months, 667 employees received training in 35 individual training sessions.
OUR RESULTS
- Increased Frequency And Consistency
- Increased Conversations and Engagement
- Improved Quality of Completed Forms
- Increase in Good Catch Reporting
SAFETY LEADERSHIP
Waste Management
In this highly regulated industry, employees have substantial amounts of required training. To cut through the noise, we needed a unique and fun training experience.
As captains of a pirate ship, attendees learned coaching techniques, appreciative questioning, and how to give effective positive feedback.
OUR RESULTS
- 87% are more able to adapt approach to employee
- 75% report having more coaching conversations
- 83% would recommend the training to others
POSITIVE FEEDBACK
Utility
After conducting an extensive safety culture survey, a large utility company wanted to increase how frequently leaders provided positive feedback and recognized team members for performing work safely.
While the targeted behaviors were modest in scope, the ripple effects of the changes were more extensive than we anticipated.
OUR RESULTS
- Surveys more than 60 days after the training revealed a significant increase in positive feedback occurring a few times a week, once a day, or multiple times a day.
LEADERSHIP
Mechanical Contractor
Supervisors at a mechanical contractor company had previously received leadership training. They had adopted some new behaviors, but there was room for more growth.
Attendees participated in recreating their training, sharing their insights with their coworkers, and then practicing key leadership behaviors around communication and productivity in our post-training Habit Challenge.
OUR RESULTS
- 82%: Increase in Targeted Behavior
- 83%: Participation
- 92%: Would Recommend
DRIVING
Utility
Participants had already been through extensive driving training. They did not need more driving training. They needed an opportunity to practice the driving skills they already knew they needed, so that it became a habit.
“There was at least one occasion on slippery roads in which this extra distance could have played a factor in eliminating an accident.”
OUR RESULTS
- 120% ROI
- 157%: Increase in Targeted Behavior
- 83%: Participation
HEALTH
Local Government
Every New Year millions of people make resolutions to change their behavior so they can get healthier and happier. But over 90% of those resolutions will fail.
We set out to change that record. A local government gave 34 employee the opportunity to change their habits as part of a New Year’s Resolution Habit Challenge.
OUR RESULTS
- 153%: Increase in Targeted Behavior
- 61%: Increase in Confidence
- 69%: Participation
HEALTH & SAFETY
Civil Site Work
The goal was to provide 53 of their foreman with tools to change their behavior and to let them know the company cared about their well-being on the job and at home.
This training initiative straddled both health and safety behaviors, so that the foreman could have the flexibility to target the behavior they felt would make the biggest improvement in their life.
OUR RESULTS
- 125%: Increase in Targeted Behavior
- 41%: Increase in Confidence
- 79%: Participation
SAFETY
Oil And Gas
A midstream Oil and Gas company needed to train 1,000 hourly employees on becoming better safety leaders in a 3 month period. But employees have heard the same information multiple times and can tune out safety messages.
Our objective was to develop an engaging 4 hour training their safety staff could deliver and that was based on existing company vision, values, and materials.
OUR RESULTS
- 75%: Increase in Targeted Behavior
- 32%: Increase in Confidence
- 68%: Participation

What Employees Are Saying
It's not necessarily the habit itself, but the ability to create and think in a more safety conscious (way).
It’s not easy to start something, and this gave me a realistic way to look at changing behavior.
I just couldn’t seem to make it happen on my own. There was always an excuse or obstacle in the way."
It has been fun and exciting to see myself adapt and continue to change as I grow older.
"It helped me focus on driving and the training I received when I first learned to drive. My wife comments that a I drive better now."
And in the end, the investment of cultivating the new behavior paid considerable dividends in both increased productivity and personal peace.
"Several other things I was working on concurrently (without the structure) improved as well. There was a global improvement in my commitment to making changes."
"The feed back and encouragement are what makes this work. It’s hard to break bad habits and develops good habits no matter how committed you are."
It was great to reprogram my belief that new habits are almost impossible.
New habits have just started falling into place without even thinking about it since starting your technique!
My overall takeaway is that you can do anything you set you mind to, but you gotta take it one step, one day at a time.
Made me snap out of some bad habits so thank you.
"The only thing standing between you
and the employees you want
are the good habits you wish they had
and the bad habits you wish they didn't."
Sharon Lipinski, Founder & CEO
