112 I Research & Reflect: The OSF Ratio
from TrainSmart: The Medical Device Educators’ Podcast · host Cumby Consulting
In the 1980s, researchers at the Center for Creative Leadership created the 70-20-10 model for learning, saying that 70% of managerial learning should come from hand-on experience, 20% from others, and 10% from formal training. But more recent research from the Training Industry, shows that a variable OSF (On-the-Job, Social, Formal) ratio is better suited. In this episode, we discuss this research and what we think is the ideal OSF ratio for rep and physician training. Related Resources: Want a partner in developing your advanced training strategy?
