List Price: $26.99 Price: $15.65 You Save: $11.34 (42%) "A Great Book for Newbie Trainers" - By Alan Landers
I meet a lot of people who want to get into the training field. Some are in college programs, others are teachers, and some are in HR or some other department. This is a book I recommend to them. It covers all the basics and essentials. I mentor people through the ATD San Diego mentoring program. I try to keep a current copy on my book shelf to give to each of my proteges. They'll read a chapter or section and we'll discuss it. It's a great starter!(15) -

List Price: $36.95 Price: $28.32 You Save: $8.63 (23%) "A practical guide to evaluating your training program" - By Rolf Dobelli (Switzerland)
This practical guide, a companion to Donald Kirkpatrick's Evaluating Training Programs: The Four Levels, provides a framework for putting his system into practice. The book assumes a prior knowledge of the four-level system, but demonstrates how to determine which programs to evaluate and at which level to pitch the evaluation, and how to gather the right evidence and present it in a compelling format. The authors provide many examples of every form they discuss in the book and emphasize the importance of following each level in sequence. The style of writing is rather repetitive and could have been better edited, but the advice is sound. We recommend this guide to all those involved in learning and development, such as trainers, training designers and managers.(11) -

Managing an Information Security and Privacy Awareness and Training Program, Second Editionby Brian Honan- In Stock.
List Price: $79.95 Price: $57.11 You Save: $22.84 (29%) "A MUST read!!" - By Keith Mattox (Cary, NC)
Rebecca Herold is one of the leading authorities and experts on privacy and information security awareness training. What sets her apart beyond her extensive background in computer science is that of an educator. She is particularly focused on the adult learner and what motivates them. Unfortunately, Privacy and Information Security Awareness training is too often relegated to security specialists who typically do not have a clue on how to effectively develop or manage a program for training users. Treated as just another policy or regulatory mandate that needs to be checked off, it's tasked to an already overburdened security professional. No wonder what often develops is a generic program with no relevance to the organization or the employees role. Or even worse, a "Death by Powerpoint" slideshow masquerading as training.
With all that said, it's understandable. Given today's budget constraints and other demands it's not always possible to develop ... full review(5) -

List Price: $34.95 Price: $5.62 You Save: $29.33 (84%) "Helpful content" - By Fun Cooking
This book includes 35 case studies that you can use in management training to discuss different principles of effective management and challenging situations that managers face. It also includes a survey that you can use to help you analyze the needs of the managers at your organization.
One thing that doesn't make sense to me is the copyright on this product. It seems like you're not supposed to make copies of the information. Without the ability to copy the case studies and integrate them into training sessions, this resource is not that helpful. Especially when it comes to the survey! If you can't send the survey out to many people in the organization without buying a copy of the book for each survey you send out, then the survey is only helpful as a guide you can follow in creating your own. Since the survey is well-written, it's too ... full review(4) -

List Price: $80.00 Price: $54.95 You Save: $25.05 (31%) "This book is a GREAT return on your investment" - By Stacey L. T. Boyle, Ph.D.
Dr. Phillips has simplified a very complex concept. His step-by-step recommendations to conducting ROI studies are clear and concise. However, caveat emptor! He simplifies ROI so well that it seems relatively easy; but beware: there are great hurdles to leap when conducting ROI studies. While Phillips does cover some of the most serious obstacles one may face, such as getting management buy-in, isolating training effects, and handling soft data, conducting a ROI study is by no means a cake walk. For instance, ROI is more than a fifth level of evaluation after Kirkpatrick's four. It should be conducted at all levels of evaluation, which Phillips does suggest. Furthermore, ROI, or any evaluation effort for that matter, should not be viewed as merely a summative attempt; it should be conducted in an ongoing formative manner. ... full review(10) -
