(trainee), as well as to your training and development peers.
Inviting your peers is a courteous collegial gesture, and these
attendees can provide peer evaluations of the session that the
participants may not be prepared to do. The invitation
should include a brief overview of the module indicating that
this is a pilot; be sure to mention that training credit in the
employee training history will depend on extent of revisions
that are required. If minor revisions are called for, training
credit can be given for the session. If major revisions are
needed, attendance can be noted but credit cannot be given,
since the revised module that will ultimately be rolled out
will not be the same as the pilot module.
10.6 Conducting a pilot
implementation
Conducting a pilot implementation has eight steps.
10.6.1 Step 1: Check the checklist
When the day and time of the pilot session arrive, use your
checklist to make sure that everything is in place and ready
to go. Welcome the end-user trainees and your training and
development peers. Indicate again that this is a pilot
implementation; repeat that credit to the participants' ITPs
will depend upon the extent of revisions that are needed.
Even if credit cannot be given because major revisions are
called for, the trainees' participation in the development of
this module will be noted and appreciated. Discuss the
logistics of this facility, where the water fountains, coffee
machines, and restrooms are located, etc. Point out relevant
Emergency Response Plans, fi re escape routes, etc.
