| How does your organization manage employee training? Read the following vignettes and, on a separate sheet of paper, record how your organization would solve the problem presented in each. If you can offer an effective solution to all the vignettes, then your company may already be effectively managing training; otherwise, it may have an urgent need to take a fresh look at reinventing training practices to emphasize human performance enhancement (HPE).
Beyond Training and Development, Second Edition, is written for those wishing to revolutionize, reengineer, reinvent, or revitalize the training function in their organizations. This book is thus an action manual for change. It should be read by professionals in training and development, organization development, human resources management, human performance enhancement, human performance improvement, and human performance technology. It should also be read by chief executive officers, chief operating officers, general managers, university faculty members who teach in academic training and development programs, operating managers, managers of total quality, team leaders working on process reengineering or process improvement efforts, and others participating in training or learning activities. In short, this book offers something valuable to just about everybody. |
