Pinnacle has delivered many Contextual Training programs coupled with Structured Coaching over the years. Pinnacle's proven contextual training also utilizes the concept of Month in the Life of (MITLO) / Week in the Life of (WITLO).  We train all of your people involved in Earned Value Management  based on their monthly or weekly responsibilities.  We walk them through your project reporting cycle step-by-step using your adopted toolset  and in-house processes to demonstrate the actual deliverables they are required to produce, how to create them with your selected tool and when to provide them.

Contextual training results in better adoption and sustainability than either generic tool or process training because it is relevant to users' roles and responsibilities.  Pinnacle also offers an online Process Asset Library that mirrors our contextual training and reinforces and supports users on a day-to-day basis.  This combination of training and structured coaching has been shown to increase the working retention of trained staff by nearly 90% (Olivero 1997).
