There are three key concepts to put in place once you believe in and acknowledge that “the Dip” is real. Learners must go through the Dip for true learning to take place. In other words, this is part of a normal change process. Both trainers and learners need to own it, embrace it and plan for it. Change is a process, not an event. We have all heard this one before, but do we apply it appropriately? (Hint: Those of you using the PowerPoint osmosis technique, or using a one-time only event to promote learning—stop it!) Learners can survive the Dip. To survive the Dip (or chasm, as the case may be), here are three very important steps learners must consider: Expect it. Name it. Build in support.
