If Chuck Norris was in the Training Department

07---infiniti

In the spirit of April Fools Day, I wondered what it would be like if Chuck Norris was in the Training Department.  There is a site dedicated to Chuck Norris facts.

Here are some that I thought of, what about you?

  • Chuck Norris…
    • can close a performance gap with his fist
    • will roundhouse any learning objective that starts with “understand”
    • can make other people receive his context sensitive help
    • is invisible to the LMS…his training cannot be tracked
    • scares learning into performance results
    • measures his student’s time to proficiency in seconds
    • can squeeze the ROI out of any learning initiative
    • can make learning an event that you will never be able to forget
    • is immune to cognitive overload
    • is the highest level proficiency within any competency
    • evaluates his training results at a Level 6
    • intimidates learning to transfer to the job
    • can blend learning with his bare hands
    • is his own Personal Learning Network (PLN)
    • can deliver asynchronous training synchronously
    • can make you unlearn something by staring at you
    • can make his whole class grow a beard
    • will shoot your PowerPoint bullets at you if you try to use them in your presentation
    • can solve a problem using the same thinking he used to create the problem
    • delivers training as if all students have the same learning style – pain
    • doesn’t care who started the learning myth…he’ll finish it
  • Business goals align to Chuck Norris’s learning needs
  • SCORM is Chuck Norris compliant
  • Telling is not training unless Chuck Norris says it is
  • People would rather die than role play with Chuck Norris
  • The company had to onboard to Chuck Norris when he arrived
  • The only spatial learning you need to worry about is to get out of Chuck’s space
  • If you participate in mLearning created by Chuck, you’ll be running for your life.
