Oracle Mentoring
Oracle Tips by Burleson Consulting |
Maximizing knowledge
transfer in Oracle training
One of the greatest challenges
for any Oracle manager is maximizing the long-term learning from Oracle training
classes.
Vendor-based training and
online training have a well documented history of poor knowledge retention, and
most managers find that the
customized on-site training provides the best knowledge transfer, especially
when the instructor is available for follow-up mentoring.
Use It, or Lose It
Everyone knows that training
without follow-up guarantees a rapid loss of knowledge. It's the age-old "use
it or lose it" conundrum, and the savvy IT manager must carefully
schedule their on-site Oracle training to coincide with the staff's need to
apply their new knowledge.
Ensure your training
success with Oracle mentoring
Many managers find that the
best training investment is a combination of formal training, followed-up by
supplemental Oracle mentoring. In the ideal situation, the Oracle instructor is
available (by e-mail and telephone) to answer specific questions about the
application of the Oracle technology. This is especially important for shops
that are launching a large development project and shops that want training in
advanced Oracle technologies (RAC, Oracle Streams, Oracle Tuning).
Using your classroom instructor
for supplemental mentoring ensures continuity with the course material and also
improves productivity because the students has a one-step solution to any
technical problem.
