UPTRAIN BY RICHARD SITES
A Training ROI Book for Executives
Uptrain is the straight-talk guide for the executives who approve the training budget, not the department that builds it. Learn the Power Formula and get your copy.
The Book
You've probably already read something about making training more effective. This isn't that. Uptrain is short, direct, and built for one reader: the executive who approves a training budget and wants a real way to know whether it worked, not another framework built for the training department.
Training decisions are complicated — a lot of moving parts. They are not complex — they don't require expertise you don't have. You already make calls this hard everywhere else in the business. Uptrain gives you the vocabulary and the method to make this one too, without handing the whole decision to someone else and hoping.
What’s Inside:
The Power Formula
(Purpose + Product + Process) x People = Power
A five-part way to score any training initiative before you approve it, while it's running, and after it ships.
Purpose — the actual reason for the training and the outcome it's supposed to produce.
Product — what's being built to deliver it.
Process — how it gets designed, developed, and deployed.
People — everyone commissioned, consulted, or required to sign off. The multiplier on everything else — a project can score well everywhere and still collapse to zero if this one is weak.
Power — the actual effect on the business. The only thing you were ever paying for.
What You'll Be Able to Do
Score a training initiative in minutes, using a method built for a business leader, not a training professional.
Tell the difference between a project that's on track and one that's quietly drifting, before the invoice arrives.
Talk to your L&D team about outcomes instead of activity — hours logged, modules built, dates hit.
Stay in the room on training decisions instead of delegating the whole conversation away.
