Quest Senior Manager's Forum (June 2007)

The challenge that some fast growing organization has is how to make the training function more contributive to business growth, more relevant and more strategic. The answer lies in the ability to show that training in your organization can produces business results.

In a recent article in a prominent HR Magazine in China, “Biz Shanghai”, it was reported:

“A lack of corporate training is seen as a major obstacle handicapping a company’s sustained development. .. As the president of IBM once said: ‘If we didn’t spend so much money on the training every year in China, the annual revenue might be only $400 million. However, the annual revenue in China is $800 million’. ..But as to how to make the best use of the training budget, some company bosses are still at a loss…they don’t manage to find a way to make the best use of these budgets. Sometimes they haven’t a specific goal for training and as a result the training don’t seem to be effective… Unfortunately more than 90% of the training are not capable of changing the trainees’ way of thinking, …”

This is of significant concern to all enterprises and in particular to the business owners and stake holders. The worst scenario that could happen is for them to lose confidence in the relevance and the impact of training on bottom line. If the training activities are not getting the desired results; it only means a lot of time, money, efforts and resources are wasted and will continue to be wasted if nothing changes.

This seminar will help organization to achieve the following;
• Provide Strategic directions for training in the organization
• Enable mangers to direct training investments towards getting more results
• Learn how to use training as a strategic tools
• Use training to improve sales and profits.
• Forge better alignment between the various departments with the training function of the organization.
