changed their roles from trainers to learning consultants –
advising on the strategic development needs of staff in
their organisation. This week Nick Wright, learning &
development team leader at Tearfund, draws on his own
experience to explain how to make this tricky transformation
work. Whether you have made this transition or not, you may
well find inspiration and a few pointers in Nick’s account:
