Determining Training Priorities

Abstract

One of the major problems that any training manager has to face is deciding which training projects to carry out — or frequently, which projects not to carry out. The manager's situation is seldom a simple one, since he has to balance the availability of his resources—in particular, his staff—against the demands for training that may arise, often foreseen but also unexpectedly, from all levels and departments of an organisation. Sometimes, indeed, the instruction is to redirect resources from whatever is in progress (and how often does the originator of the instruction know what is in progress?) to another training priority with overriding urgency.
