Editor's note
=============
If there was one clear message at this year's World of
Learning Conference it was that training must become more
aligned to business needs.
In the opening keynote address Dr Dean Spitzer referred to a
future of "training and development leaders" who would ally
development to the organisation's needs. While Nick Wright
of the charity Tearfund gave a fascinating insight into how
his learning and development department had become learning
consultants moving from being training providers to business
partners.
