Editor's note
=============
You may remember a few weeks ago a report from the CIPD came
in for some criticism from the TrainingZONE community when it
suggested that the classic model of classroom training was
failing to respond to the needs of modern businesses. This
week learning, training and development adviser at the CIPD
Martyn Sloman expands on the research and defends its
conclusions. Also this week, whether you made it to
Harrogate for the CIPD exhibition and conference or not,
don't miss our round up of news from the event:
