Replying to LO24910 --
Why are you choosing training as an intervention? Is it based upon a
sound needs assessment that truly points to training to solve a problem?
Or is training what has been requested? What else is being done beyond
the classroom to insure that whatever is learned in the classroom is
supported in practice. Diversity training is a perfect example. Why do
we do it? Does it work? Have we done anything else to understand why we
are having problems? Have we made any efforts beyond the classroom to fix
the problem?
Although my background is training and OD, I'm not a big believer in
training alone as an effective strategy for improving organizational
performance.
