\"track\"<\/a>Successful programs stay on the trail.\u00a0 They don\u2019t ever stop staying on track.\u00a0 Here\u2019s some of the top ways to keep your program from straying off the success path and getting lost.
\n1. Email LERN with a question<\/b>
\n<\/b>Whenever you face a difficult issue, just email us at info@lern.org<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0 We have top experts that specialize in a variety of different areas. Your question will be referred to the LERN professional who can best answer your question.
\nBecause LERN tracks the most successful programs all over North America, you get advice based on successful programs and their experience.\u00a0 There\u2019s no reason to stray off course when you come to a tough issue.
\n2. Follow LERN Benchmarks<\/b>
\nEvery successful lifelong learning program reviews the LERN benchmarks and keeps working at improving and striving to meet each benchmark.\u00a0 You can ask for a list of the benchmarks by emailing info@lern.org<\/a>\u00a0 or calling us at (800) 678-5376.
\n3. Review your past history<\/b>
\nCompare your present performance with your recent past history.\u00a0 Compare this year, or now, with your 2 to 3 previous fiscal years.\u00a0 Don\u2019t bother going back further\u00a0 – – that\u2019s ancient history.
\nUse your recent performance to predict future performance.\u00a0 Use your recent history to figure out if you stopped doing something or why something might be going wrong now.\u00a0 Use your recent history in developing your next one year marketing plan.
\n4. Follow LERN Recommendations<\/b>
\nWhenever you see a LERN Recommendation, follow it.\u00a0 If in doubt, at least ask LERN if the recommendation applies to your situation.
\nYou can find LERN Recommendations in many places:\u00a0 at our Institutes, in our annual LERN Forecasts report, in our annual State of Lifelong Learning report, in our newsletters, in our webinars, and in your FREE access to the LERN Club.
\n5. Cite LERN data to your superiors<\/b>
\nWhenever a superior in your organization wants to make a decision that veers off the path recommended by LERN, cite the LERN data to your superior.\u00a0 See if you can get your superior to engage with LERN via email or phone call.
\n6. Have a one-year plan<\/b>
\n<\/b>Every year do a written one-year plan.\u00a0 It should specify in numbers your objectives for the year in both programming and in marketing.
\nThe one year written plan should then proceed to have a timeline and deadlines in both your programming and marketing.
\nWritten plans actually increase successful execution and lead to greater success.
