A highly effective way of increasing the productivity of CAD users is to have a training scheme in place. And one of the most effective ways of doing this is to have short “toolbox talks” at regular intervals. The “little and often” approach ensures that a greater amount of information is taken in, and less strain is put upon the trainer or chief CAD user. Try setting up a weekly slot of 10 minutes to demonstrate a few new or lesser used CAD commands. You will soon find that your CAD staff begin to take an active part in suggesting topics, or even presenting toolbox talks themselves.
