You’ve just invested significant resources into training programs designed to give your team the skills they need to excel. Whether it’s leadership development, technical upskilling, or customer service enhancement, you brought in expert trainers, developed comprehensive materials, and created an engaging learning environment. Confidence is soaring, and participants are excited to apply what they’ve learned.

But just a few weeks later, the momentum has faded. Employees are reverting to old habits, and the expected improvements are nowhere to be found. This scenario plays out across organizations every year. Globally, organizations spend over $350 billion annually on training, yet studies reveal that up to 70% of this investment is wasted due to ineffective implementation.

What’s going wrong? More than likely, your training efforts are falling victim to the “last mile problem.” This term describes the gap between delivering effective training and ensuring new skills are implemented consistently on the job. Two core issues typically underly this problem: the transfer problem and the expertise gap.

To truly bridge these gaps, organizations need more than just traditional training. That’s where next-generation, AI-powered solutions like Cicero come in.
