Yardi Voyager Training Strategies for Software Implementation
Are their certain training protocols that should be in place in order to maximize
the training process for your Yardi Voyager software implementation training effort?
Yardi Voyager training protocols and tips from David Wolfe, President of Lupine Partners will help mazimize your Yardi Voyager software implementation training.
Here are some training rules we regularly use at Lupine while conducting training:
- Write down your questions. Do not interrupt the instructor as they are going through the training. There are more people in the room besides you. We will get to your questions at the appropriate time. (Discussions on the use of a 'parking lot' are forthcoming)
- No side conversations, meaning with your neighbor. Besides being rude it prevents the person you are talking to from hearing the training. Side conversations are extremely disruptive.
- No cell phones, for what I hope are obvious reasons: they are disruptive to you and the entire class when they ring. And there is no better way to ensure your own failure than to spend your training time texting. You can return calls during break.
- No email. You need to focus on what the instructor is saying, not on answering your mail.
- Multiple breaks. This is an intense process. I usually go 50 minutes at a time with 10 min breaks and then quickly go on this leads right into the next point.
- Start and stop on time. If you're going to start at 10, then start at 10. When I run a session that starts at 10, at 10 o'clock I start talking. You have to keep these things moving at a pretty brisk pace.
I see most training sessions break down due to a lack of discipline. These sessions are short bursts of concentrated activity. One way to ensure that everybody maintains focus is to tell the users that they will be tested at the end of the training. Then test them.
