Retention Snapshot

A Strategic Learning Review for Business Leaders

A Fast, Neuroscience-Informed Diagnostic for Business and Learning Leaders

Most corporate training is forgotten within days. The Retention Snapshot gives business leaders, internal trainers, HR teams, and capability leads a fast, science-backed snapshot of where their training is leaking retention and ROI.

Built around principles from cognitive neuroscience, this high-impact diagnostic identifies hidden risks, surfaces immediate opportunities for improvement, and helps you make smarter decisions about where to focus next.

Designed for busy leaders who want clarity, not complexity.

Why This, Why Now?

Training programs are under more pressure than ever.
Businesses are expected to deliver faster results, prove learning ROI, and build stronger capability with fewer resources.

Yet research shows:

  • Employees typically forget between 50% and 90% of new information within a week

  • Poorly retained training leads to lower productivity, higher turnover, and wasted investment

  • Even small improvements in retention can drive major financial returns

The Retention Snapshot exists to give you fast, focused clarity on whether your training is helping or hurting your business outcomes.

No fluff. No guesswork. Just insight you can act on.

What You Get

✔ A Retention Risk Score based on neuroscience-backed criteria

✔ Identification of your top 2–3 vulnerabilities in training retention and transfer

✔ Practical, actionable recommendations to address the biggest gaps

✔ A simple, high-impact report designed for fast business decision-making

✔ Clear next step options if deeper support is needed

Delivered within 5–7 business days after intake.

How It Works

The Retention Snapshot unfolds in 3 steps, each designed to maximise value while respecting your team’s time.

Step 1: Intake and Initial Insights

You complete a short intake form capturing key information about your current training programs, delivery methods, and goal

Step 2: Retention Risk Assessment

We review your inputs using neuroscience-based criteria to assess where training memory and application are most likely to break down.

Step 3: Report Delivery

You receive your Retention Snapshot within 5–7 business days. This includes your Retention Risk Score, key vulnerabilities, priority recommendations, and suggested next steps.

Why This Is For (And Not For)

This is for you if:

  • You are a business leader, HR manager, capability owner, or internal trainer responsible for learning outcomes

  • You want a quick, science-backed snapshot of where your training stands

  • You need clear direction without committing to a full audit yet

This is not for you if:

  • You are looking for a full strategic training redesign (the NEURO Audit would be a better fit)

  • You have no active training programs or initiatives to assess

  • You are expecting a deep consulting engagement for a minimal price

    An optional short debrief is offered, but it is not required.
