Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, even for a team of 1. Not everyone trains external clients but internal training is integral for any business, even sole proprietors. At the highest level, addressing how your business will learn and adapt to market changes, solidifies your foundation of a strong business plan.

 I highly recommend the courses the RMCC team has developed and make available over at the RMCC Academy. You may see me pop up in self-directed modules in my former partner position as Chief Learning Officer (CLO) for Rocky Mountain Cannabis Consulting (RMCC).

Everyone learns differently but people have preferences in common. Training needs to be relevant, actionable, and engage with us at our level in a variety of ways. (Reading, listening, reconstructing, etc.) See my recommended learning page for a ton of resources the cannabis community has already made available to you.

A SME, or Subject Matter Expert, is a person who knows the ins and outs of the process or task that others need to follow. They are often too close to the subject matter and struggle to develop training themselves without bogging down others in unnecessary detail OR skipping over a novices blind spots. The Subject Matter Expert is integral to your training strategy.

Important: Determining metrics and outcomes happens during front-end analysis. Start by aligning your course objective, to a business objective. What impact to the business is the training supposed to make? (i.e. lower employee turnover or reduce data errors). Ensure your course learning objectives cite outcomes (i.e recall knowledge, demonstrate behavior) and track your training metrics for results.

Absolutely. I pioneered webinars for a bank reaching over 5 thousand students back in 2004 when I began working remotely. I've been on all sides of online delivery from analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation for banking, energy, training, and cannabis industries. I was highest rated facilitator - download my Online Class Delivery Feedback resource right here.

I sure can. For most of my clients, they already have quality training in place, they just don't have the time to create SOPs and report the program to agencies or investors while trying to run their operations. My front-end analysis trade secrets are what propelled me from data entry all the way to c-suite. It's not enough to crunch the data, I can help you communicate your strategy to stakeholders.

For those individuals who demonstrate a commitment to personal development, yes. My current clients typically begin with an hour to clarify goals, and then we decide if further hours are needed. Packages are only available on a limited basis.

Yes, for business owners who are have included training within their business plans. My current clients typically begin with an hour to clarify goals, and then we decide if further hours are needed. Packages are available through a vetted process, on a limited basis.

The strategy is the idea and methods to achieve the goal and the plan will help you execute it. You don't have one if you don't have the other.

This is where the magic happens. Before you start anything, seeing and measuring all sides helps you to identify your blind spots. Completing a front-end analysis identifies and then allows you to strategize how the exposed gaps will be filled. I use my own trade secrets that I've developed over 20 years to organize and crunch the data, presenting it in terms that everyone can understand.

Yes. To clarify, by e-learning you might mean simulations or gamified courses. Unless you're working in healthcare or high-tech, you may not have the business objectives (money to invest) to justify tracking every movement a learner might take in an online course. But many use the term "e-learning" as a catch all for any training that happens online. There are many resources already available including online courses on nearly every subject matter under the sun. (check out my recommended learning page). If you need help making a personal plan or a plan for your team based on available resources, please schedule some time with me today.

Everyone is different. Ask yourself how many folks are you training? Who is providing the content? What is the overall goal of your training? Who do you need to report your curriculum to? What does your current technology stack look like? After answering these questions, reach out and schedule some time with me so I can support you with a front-end analysis.
