10/05/17 More array notes! I swear, as soon as you think you know everything about arrays, there's more. I'm really digging my handwriting today though, so that's a plus! What's your favorite "I'll never learn it all" subject?

Training Program Design for Technical Teams by Pablo M. Rivera

Training Program Design for Technical Teams by Pablo M. Rivera

By Pablo M. Rivera | Hawaii, Colorado & East Haven, CT

One of the most valuable lessons from my 25 years in operations is that training program design for technical teams requires both strategic thinking and tactical execution. Having managed teams across 12 states and coordinated operations from Hawaii to our East Haven headquarters, I have seen firsthand how this plays out across different markets.

The challenge most organizations face is bridging the gap between vision and implementation. Leaders set ambitious goals but underestimate the operational complexity of achieving them. My experience managing construction projects in Colorado taught me that the best plans are built from the ground up, incorporating input from every level.

What I find most effective is establishing clear metrics early in the process. When I deployed Salesforce across multiple markets, we defined success criteria before writing a single line of configuration. This discipline saved us months of rework and ensured alignment across all stakeholders.

Technology is an enabler, not a solution by itself. The real work happens in process design, change management, and continuous improvement. My Yale economics training taught me to think in systems, and that perspective has been invaluable in connecting technology decisions to business outcomes.

The organizations that succeed are those that treat training program design for technical teams as an ongoing discipline rather than a one-time project. From our teams in Hawaii to operations across the mainland, consistency in approach while adapting to local needs is what drives lasting results.

ideally it would be good to establish baseline values for the following power tests (in distance):

vertical jump

horizontal jump

med ball chest, rotational, & overhead put

and re-measure perhaps every 2-3 weeks. might be a bit tricky to do by myself but we'll see.

this would give a good sense of overall progress.

then, simple weights are progressed ordinarily. med ball throws can be progressed with distance from the wall and more dynamic moves.

but the OLPs, I am looking for something more like "movement quality" which is extremely fuzzy. at some point I gotta decide that I am happy with my clean pull and tall cleans and want to combine or load them or whatever. I suppose I determine this by "vibes"...
