Though we have a wide range of products, each with its own specific features and applications, all of the packages and solutions we produce have one thing in common. Each is, in its own way, dedicated to pushing technology to its limits to deliver a unique recruitment resource.
At one end of our product range are Windows-based packages designed to address specific human resources needs. Discus® is one of these, a market leading DISC profiler with the most intelligent report generator available. Discus Team, too, falls into this category: a unique tool for developing and understanding teams.
Beyond these, Axiom's products have developed out onto the Internet. An important part of this development is Discus Online, a Web-enabled version of Discus that provides all the same features of the packaged version, but with all the advantages of an Internet site. Discus Online goes further than this, too, through its 'Synergy' interface. Discus Online: Synergy allows the service to be customised and installed into any existing Website.

Ingham and Luft - Johari Window model diagrams and examples - for self-awareness, personal development, group development and understanding relationships
The Johari Window model is a simple and useful tool for illustrating and improving self-awareness, and mutual understanding between individuals within a group. The Johari Window tool can also be used to assess and improve a group's relationship with other groups. The Johari Window model was developed by American psychologists Joseph Luft and Harry Ingham in the 's, while researching group dynamics. Today the Johari Window model is especially relevant due to modern emphasis on, and influence of, 'soft' skills, behaviour, empathy, cooperation, inter-group development and interpersonal development.
Over the years, alternative Johari Window terminology has been developed and adapted by other people - particularly leading to different descriptions of the four regions, hence the use of different terms in this explanation. Don't let it all confuse you - the Johari Window model is really very simple indeed.

Unskilled and Unaware of It: How Difficulties in Recognizing One's Own Incompetence Lead to Inflated Self-Assessments
People tend to hold overly favorable views of their abilities in many social and intellectual domains. The authors suggest that this overestimation occurs, in part, because people who are unskilled in these domains suffer a dual burden: Not only do these people reach erroneous conclusions and make unfortunate choices, but their incompetence robs them of the metacognitive ability to realize it. Across studies, the authors found that participants scoring in the bottom quartile on tests of humor, grammar, and logic grossly overestimated their test performance and ability. Although their test scores put them in the th percentile, they estimated themselves to be in the nd. Several analyses linked this miscalibration to deficits in metacognitive skill, or the capacity to distinguish accuracy from error. Paradoxically, improving the skills of participants, and thus increasing their metacognitive competence, helped them recognize the limitations of their abilities.

I read these long tortuous posts bewailing the malaise of our educational systems. The problem is not "out there". We are the problem. We are selling snake oil. We now have ample data to show that:
Training does not work. eLearning does not work. Blending Learning does not work.Knowledge Management does not work.
Yet we collectively reify our denial and project the root of the problem out to an external institutional framework. We are the source of the problem because we are selling snake oil. It doesn’t work but there is still plenty of money in it.
Caveat: My data relates solely to the corporate market. In the corporate world performance is rated on whether you save or make money (or both) for the company. Your value as "intellectual capital" rests exclusively on that.
Training does not work. The data is mounting that very little of training makes it back to the workplace. The noise inherent in the knowledge transfer to learning transfer process obliterates up to 80-90% of any usefulness of the training on the job.
Less than 30 percent of what people learn is actually transferred to the job in a way that enhances performance. (Robinson and Robinson)
85-90% of a person’s job knowledge is learned on the job and only 10-15% is learned in formal training events. (Raybould)
We have known for 20 years that classroom training only produces very high results for only 2% of the students (Bloom). The famous 2 Sigma variance accomplished with Intelligent Tutoring systems confirms that only individualized mentoring produces effective knowledge transfer. Only in the government has this data been openly communicated.
About 20 years ago, research by Prof. Benjamin Bloom and others demonstrated that students who receive one-on-one instruction perform two standard deviations better than students in traditional classrooms. (Stottler Henke Associates, Intelligent Tutoring Systems: Using AI to Improve Training Performance and ROI, 2003).
We spend about $65 billion every year in the US for training that has a dismal knowledge transfer ratio (2%), a dismal learning transfer rate (20-30%) and only accounts for 10% of the way we acquire knowledge. What’s wrong with this picture?…

If you start and end all of your learning efforts by focusing on your organization's goals, you will never be asked to do an ROI analysis to justify your budget.
Dan Tobin
Organizational change processes have always had difficulty in justifying their ROI.
- How do you determine the savings from employees that you didn't need to hire because you've increased the productivity of your current employees?
- How do you determine the increase in revenue from clients that stay because of increased service?
- How do you determine the opportunity costs from not attracting quality employees?
- How do you determine the opportunity costs from prospects that didn't become clients?
- How do you determine the lost revenue from clients or prospects who left because they didn't receive the quality or service they expected?
- How do you capture and present the cost of time spent by employees looking for information that they need but can't find? (Texaco has attempted to do this, so have other studies)
- What is the cost of an employee that leaves because they don't have the information to do their job? (See What do They Need?)
- What is the cost of a distributor or marketing partner that cancels because you have ineffective processes?
- What's the profit generated by helping to develop and distribute a service or product to a client - faster, cheaper, with increased quality?

The Impact of Training on Earnings - Differences between Participant Groups and Training Forms
September
Summary of Results
Our main results are:
. The impact of participation in training on income is significantly positive. Training comprises any of the following: courses and seminars, participation in trade fairs,
lectures, on-the-job training, quality circles, special tasks, and reading of specialist literature. Correcting for the endogeneity bias, the average treatment e?ect increases
from . to
. The effect of training on earnings differs for heterogeneous agents. High-skilled workers profit more from training than low-skilled workers, job entrants obtain a
higher earnings increase after participation in training than workers with a long job tenure, and workers with a temporary contract profit less from training than those
with a permanent job contract. If also the workers with no positive wage effects experience a productivity increase induced by training, the employers reap all the
gains from training.
. The increase in the income effects of training if endogeneity is taken into account, compared with the case where selection is assumed to be random, suggests that
our instrumental variables reduce the measurement error in the OLS regression and capture heterogeneous training returns more properly. This is plausible because our
dummy variable for training inadequately captures training intensity and training effort. The third possibility for this phenomenon, a negative selection into training,
seems unlikely given previous empirical evidence that training is seldom remedial.
. Without controlling for endogeneity, external training (i.e. participation at trade fairs, lectures, courses and seminars, and reading of specialist literature) has a significant
positive impact on wages, while the wage e?ect of internal training (i.e. on the job training, quality circles, and special tasks) is insignificant. Taking endogeneity
into account and instrumenting the training decision, the coe?cient of external training rises from . to ., internal training stays insignificant. Hence, participation
in internal training does not translate into higher earnings. Here again, only the employer seems to skim productivity increases from investments in human
capital (again assuming that employees’ productivity is increased by the training). Therefore, only external training has a significant and positive impact on earnings
and drives the result derived with a dummy for training participation.
. Our contribution can only present indirect evidence on who gains when workers train. We have been able to answer the question "who gains from training?" in
the sense of which type of employees profits from higher wages after participation in training. With our data, we were not able to present evidence for rent sharing
after investment in training between employer and employee. Nevertheless, using the indirect information of income increases and assuming that productivity increases
after training, we can make inferences about whether also the employer profits from training. Possibly, employers reap all the gains from the internal training measures
analyzed in the second part of the paper. This is also suggested by the empirical literature using firm data. In order to obtain clearer evidence, linked employer employee
panel data with detailed information on type, length and cost of training would be required, however.
