Training for Results
"Scott Parry provides a systematic, understandable, and useful approach to training and development, including understanding learning, use of appropriate tools, and a focus on the proposed outcome of training. In this age of accountability, the section on "Measuring Effectiveness of Training" should prove quite valuable. If you don't know about training and development tools and approaches, this book is for you. For those with more advanced knowledge, this book will prove to be an excellent reference."  --Howard Ladewig, Professor and Graduate Programs Coordinator, Department of Agricultural Education, Texas A&M; University"Scott Parry, one of the few Hall of Famers in the HRD industry, shares his 40 years of experience in a practical, realistic, and interesting manner in Training for Results. This book is 'must reading' for any HRD professional who is focusing on increasing performance and productivity in his or her organization. Scott Parry shares the rationale for why it's important to follow proven guidelines for effective training, as well as provides practical 'how tos' enforced by realistic examples."  --Harry H. Thompson III, President, Thompson-Mitchell & Associates, Inc."Training for Results is a brilliant integration of the theoretical concepts, facts, and explicit methods for behavior modification, which I have learned from Dr. Scott Parry over the past twenty years. Parry's systems approach to learning was well established before the word 'system' ever became fashionable.  Novice and senior organization development practitioners alike can benefit from his wisdom, wit, and pragmatic 'how to' approach."  --P.E.
