Let TrainingZONE introduce you to a new case of 'whodunnit?' - this time, there's a serious robbery involved. Luckily Management Pocketbooks have managed to bring them to book...
The Accused: Companies regard training as a second class function and have robbed it of its potential impact on company results by treating training courses as recreational restoration, or necessary comic relief, or as a safety value for organisational tensions.
The Trial: With training as the prosecution and management as defence.
The Verdict: Training found guilty of shooting itself in the foot or of perpetrating an inside job.
The Sentence: The steps that training needs to take to conduct better training needs analysis and transfer of learning to the work environment.
Sound familar? If you know a company about to commit a similar crime, how about getting involved in a bit of 'crime prevention' by helping them to recognise where they're going wrong with the latest in the best-selling series of Management Pocketbooks, 'The Great Training Robbery'.
As they say in the business, "it's a steal!".
