How to turn learning into lasting impact
The learning-transfer gap in product management illustrates a critical challenge facing organizations: training alone may not translate into improved business outcomes. There’s a gap between what’s learned in training and what’s effectively applied in the workplace.
The infographic highlights how this gap leads to:
- Wasted investment
- Inconsistent practices
- Missed opportunities
- Higher turnover of talented staff
To bridge this divide, leaders must implement structured post-training activation. They need to foster continuous learning cultures, create skill practice opportunities, and provide regular coaching.
The stark contrast between Company A (training with minimal follow-up) and Company B (training with structured reinforcement) demonstrates the business impact of addressing this gap. By recognizing that 70% of learning happens on-the-job after formal training, organizations can transform their approach to product management development, turning potential into performance and knowledge into action.
