What Is ITTEC?
The International Training Transfer Effectiveness Conference (ITTEC) is the world’s first conference dedicated exclusively to Training Transfer Effectiveness.
It is a global platform that brings together business leaders, HR and Learning and Development professionals, line managers, trainers, consultants, technology providers, researchers, policymakers, and other key stakeholders to address one critical question:
How can organizations ensure that training translates into consistent workplace application, measurable performance improvement, and business impact?
Through expert insights, organizational case studies, practical tools, hands-on labs, technology demonstrations, and collaborative conversations, ITTEC equips participants to move beyond training delivery and intentionally create the conditions that enable and sustain application.
ITTEC is a hybrid conference, allowing participants to join physically in Lagos, Nigeria, or virtually from anywhere in the world.
Our Vision
A world where Training Transfer Effectiveness becomes a Standard, not an Exception, and training investments consistently contribute to workplace application, measurable performance improvement, and business impact.
Our Mission
To convene a global community of business leaders, HR and Learning and Development professionals, line managers, trainers, consultants, technology providers, researchers, policymakers, and other stakeholders to advance the knowledge, practices, technologies, and organizational conditions required for effective and sustained training transfer.
Why ITTEC?
Organizations invest substantial resources in training every year, but training attendance and knowledge acquisition do not automatically produce improved workplace performance.
When the conditions required for application are absent, employees may return from training without consistently applying what they have learned. This creates a costly gap between training and performance, a gap that results in Training Scrap™, a term coined by Sandra Ihenacho (The Oracle).
ITTEC exists to confront this gap by bringing the entire training transfer effectiveness ecosystem together to explore practical, evidence-informed, and technology-enabled ways of improving and sustaining Training Transfer Effectiveness.
What ITTEC Stands For
A fundamental shift in how organizations think about and manage training investments
We stand for:
- Clarity before training: Training should be recommended only when it is the right solution to an identified performance need.
- Application beyond learning: Training success must extend beyond attendance, completion, satisfaction, and knowledge acquisition.
- Shared responsibility: Effective transfer requires the intentional involvement of leaders, line managers, employees, HR and Learning and Development professionals, trainers, workplace systems, and organizational culture.
- Measurable performance improvement: Training should contribute to workplace application, improved performance, and business impact.
- Sustained transfer: Organizations must establish structures that reinforce and sustain application over time.
- Accountability for investment: Training investments should demonstrate ROE and, where needed, ROI.
ITTEC and the TTE Movement
ITTEC is part of the wider Training Transfer Effectiveness Movement, a movement committed to changing how organizations think about, design, implement, support, and evaluate training.
The TTE Movement advocates for a future where Training Transfer Effectiveness becomes a standard, not an exception. It calls on organizations to move beyond counting training activities and begin intentionally creating the conditions that turn training into workplace application, performance improvement, and business impact.
Within this movement, ITTEC serves as the global convening platform, bringing together the people, practices, technologies, evidence, and organizational experiences required to advance Training Transfer Effectiveness.
ITTEC is the conference. Training Transfer Effectiveness is the movement.

From Advocacy to Implementation
The Training Transfer Effectiveness Operating System (TTE-OS), developed and owned by M.Bryan Consulting Limited, provides organizations with a practical and systematic approach for implementing Training Transfer Effectiveness.
It helps organizations determine whether training is the right solution to an identified performance need. Where training is required, it guides them in intentionally creating the conditions needed before, during, and after training to achieve workplace application, performance improvement, business impact, ROE, and, where needed, ROI.
The TTE-OS comprises three integrated components:
- The Needs Validation Process (NVP) Model
- The Pre–During–Post (PDP) Training Transfer Effectiveness Model
- The Training Transfer Effectiveness Sustainability Framework (TTE-SF)
