Ellen, Training and development go hand in hand. At least they used to during my days with HRD involvements. In fact, it is a very distinction between the two. Development, hopefully follows training, if the right environment is provided for it to flourish. When it is done for lip service, it does not work. Sadly, from what I gather from many articles and letters that I read in the press, it is yet to happen. rummusers last blog post..Movie Scenes That Have Stayed With Me.

Michael, what a thoughtful way to rethink training. What a wonderful book this would make – and how valuable a tool to help readers rethink what it means to know and apply new skills. The investigation itself is refreshing as you have framed it so well here. Thanks Michael, for the deep insights you bring to topics that invite rejuvenation! The beginning of a wonderful ice berg has been spotted!

Train Dolphins - I wonder in what environment do you feel that training is valuable. People need training for skills that they may have never learned or understood. I agree that much training that is done by organizations is just the opportunity for time to be wasted. This meaningless training creates a culture of people who feel that training is not acceptable or necessary within the culture. Perhaps if we foucused (as you mentioned) on ways to leverage the talents that the team already possesses and discover our team talents. michael carduss last blog post..Buffalo NY, Team Builder is Getting Married
