Six big problems with training and development
Six big problems with training and development
- A failure to identify the specific needs of learners and for learners to own their own development needs
- Objectives set by trainers, rather than the learners
- Little acceptance by learners of the need to take responsibility for their own development
- Constraints of time for preparation and participation in learning events
- A failure to follow through learning beyond an event or course
- Failing to achieve high value via transfer of the learning

Learning and development focuses the mind – it is about learning and not what the the trainer can train. Combine this spin on training v learning with accelerated learning techniques, brain friendly (right brain, left brain, multiple intelligences) planned activities and people are guaranteed to take away more than they expected they would…and proceed to tell their friends how good the experience was. They are also likely to have had the recognition at work for some significant improvement in performance.
