Send me the names of the three people
I should meet.

We would love to talk with you about your early career program and learn about your most pressing needs.

We've helped major companies design, deliver, and measure the effectiveness of their early career programs for decades. We also have extensive expertise in course design and delivery, including how to use AI to transform the way people learn. See the MEASURABLE results we produced for a global company.

We’re betting on people.

Play Beat the Bot! and see why there are some things like wisdom, judgment, and lived experience that AI can’t add to your program.

1. What tricks are there to stay at the Presidential Suite at the Grand Canyon?

A. Call the El Tovar Front Desk directly at (928) 638-2631.

B. Use the “13-Month Plus” Rule

C. Wait until 5 pm and ask the hotel to stay in the suite. It is usually held for dignitaries and goes unused. If someone isn’t staying in the room, it becomes available at 5 pm.

2. What is a trick I can use to see the musical guest perform on SNL?

A. Try to go to the less popular dress rehearsal at 8 pm.

B. Try for the artist’s “secret stash” set aside for their fan base.

C. Take a tour of NBC studios on the Thursday afternoon before the show. The artist practices on Thursday and the director works out the camera shots. The tour gives you a view into all that is happening.

3. Imagine you start to feel cold at this conference. Where should you sit?

A. The “AV Sweet Spot”: Go to the very back of the room, specifically the center-right section (when facing the stage).

B. Make sure you are on the side of the room furthest from the glass windows.

C. Go ask people in the room if they are warm or cold and use your judgment to pick a new spot.

4. How can I use music in a unique way during instructor-led training activities?

A. Use a “Theme Song” for the Learning Objective

B. Have teams make a playlist based on the topic

C. Have teams create their own lyrics, songs, album covers, and even music videos that recap the most important points and themes in a workshop.

5. How can we measure the ROI of my early career program in dollars?

A. Calculate the Cost of Retention (Turnover Avoidance)

B. Determine Promotion Velocity (Internal vs. External Hiring)

C. Use a simple approach like one that Wronski Associates used with a major corporation using two test populations (one of early career hires and one of direct hires), key criteria, and hard-core data from a five-year period.
