Transforming Training Programs to Drive Change

In the face of the growing necessity for effective training and development, many organizations still struggle with translating learned knowledge into actionable change. Workshops and training sessions often conclude as mere knowledge-sharing exercises, without inflicting significant transformations on workplace behaviors. Recognizing this gap, Enpublic Co., Ltd., based in Bunkyo, Tokyo, is excited to announce its upcoming course titled "Designing Continuous Courses and Retreats for Behavioral Change and Value Creation."

Addressing the Persistent Challenge

While organizations and local authorities have increased their implementation of training and developmental programs across various sectors—which include digital transformation (DX), talent development, and community education—the results often fail to meet expectations. Commonly reported issues include high participant satisfaction without corresponding changes in behavior, the transitory nature of single-session workshops, and the gradual obscurity of learned concepts once returned to the workplace.

This course seeks to tackle these challenges by reframing the issues not merely as problems of participant engagement or content quality but as problems rooted in the overall design of learning experiences. It emphasizes a need for a structural reevaluation of how training programs are conceived and executed.

Features of the Course

Unlike typical training focused solely on teaching methods, this course is designed to empower participants to consider the desired outcomes of their training. Questions such as, "What transformations do we hope to create?" and "What mechanisms can ensure these changes persist in the workplace?" are central to this seminar. Participants will learn universal design principles applicable to various training contexts—from DX initiatives to community-focused programs—enabling them to apply these insights back at their organizations for realignment and improvement.

Key Topics Covered in the Course

• - Designing for sustained behavioral change rather than merely knowledge retention.
• - Incorporating relationships and experimental practice spaces alongside knowledge and skills into training design.
• - Creating a structure that enables individual workshops to evolve into continuous learning opportunities that foster practical application and growth.
• - Drawing on insights from DX, talent development, and community-building programs to develop a cohesive program design philosophy.

Target Audience

This course is particularly aimed at human resources development professionals and training planners within organizations, training providers, universities, and public organizations focused on designing effective training sessions. It also addresses those who are concerned about rendering existing workshops or DX training ineffective.

About the Instructor

Takushi Hiroishi, CEO of Enpublic Co., Ltd., will lead the course. He is also a part-time lecturer at Keio University and Rikkyo University, specializing in policy-making and organizational development related to social issues. With extensive experience developing programs that nurture value creation and behavioral change, Hiroishi emphasizes that the outcome of training is contingent not just on content quality but on the intentional design of transformative experiences.
