With training effectiveness beset upon all sides by time constraints and learning obstacles, what hope does talent development have to make a difference?  We asked Dave Meier, Director of the Center for Accelerated Learning, how Accelerated Learning can ensure training is effective, not merely efficient.

Interview questions:
1. What is Accelerated Learning?
2. The Accelerated Learning method incorporates what you're calling the SAVI approach to learning, incorporating Somatic, Auditory, Visual, and Intellectual Learning modes.  Is this another way of applying Learning Styles to instructional design?
3. It seems that training managers and clients have "no time" to devote to training anymore, and when they absolutely have to have training, it has to be designed and delivered "tomorrow."   Will I have time to design a course using Accelerated Learning?
4. A recent ATD Research poll indicated that Instructor-Led classroom training was the dominant training delivery method in 2015, making up 50.63% of training offerings delivered.  In an environment that seems devoted to asynchronous training interventions, what do you make of those findings?
5. What will your participants be able to do once they leave the workshop on April 13?
