Building a Training Culture That Sticks

One-off workshops don't create lasting change. Learn how to design training programmes that embed new skills into daily practice.

We've all been there: an inspiring two-day workshop, a burst of enthusiasm, and then… nothing changes. Within weeks, teams revert to old habits and the training investment evaporates.

The Forgetting Curve Problem

Research shows that people forget 70% of new information within 24 hours and 90% within a week unless the learning is reinforced. Traditional training programmes ignore this reality.

Spaced Repetition in Corporate Training

The most effective training programmes borrow from cognitive science. They space learning over weeks, interleave topics, and require active application between sessions.

Manager Involvement Is Non-Negotiable

When managers actively reinforce training content — by asking about it in 1:1s, modelling new behaviours, and creating opportunities to practice — retention rates triple.

Our Approach

PM Peer's training programmes are designed as 6-8 week journeys, not one-off events. Each week combines a focused workshop session with practical assignments that participants apply to real projects. Managers receive a parallel guide so they can coach and reinforce.

The result: skills that stick, behaviours that change, and measurable improvements in project delivery performance.
