[edit] About the Authors

VNU Conference where this book was initially created

The initial group of authors who started this project, were assembled for an onsite, Wiki lab at Training Directors Forum, June 13, 2006 in Palm Springs, California. The book was added to by a group of most excellent authors at Training Conference 2007 in Orlando, Florida on February 28, 2007. The audience is made of up of Training Managers and Training Executives. If you are not part of this group, but would like to contribute best practice examples to this Wiki Book, please feel free to do so, and be sure to add your name, title, company and bio to the "About the Authors" section.

Additional content was added February 28, 2007 by participants of the Training 2007 Conference from Disney World.

Purpose of this WikiBook

Bryan Chapman Conducting a Learning Lab.

The purpose of this book is to collaboratively share a collection of learning/training best practices across many different organizations. For definition purposes, a best practice is something that can be replicated at multiple locations, expecting similar results; and not just something that worked well inside an organization.

We welcome you to add stories, examples, as well as documented, results-oriented best practices to this Wiki, entitled "Training Best Practices," so that others may use them to develop learning strategies at their organizations.

The intial book started as part of a Learning Lab at Training Directors Forum on June 16, 2006 in Palm Springs, California.
