Corporate Training is broken

‘Corporate Training is broken, so why are you still doing it?’ by Libby Drake, Training Journal, March 2014

This article asks a lot of questions but only provides a few of the answers.  It is however worth reading for anyone involved in designing learning solutions because it reminds us of what we should be striving for; that perfect blended learning programme where all attendees have been fully briefed by their line manager, have agreed their personal objectives and have completed their pre-course work. And afterwards they all go back to their jobs and transfer their learning, with the eager support of an engaged senior management.  Most learning professionals work towards this goal but also know how difficult it is to achieve.
