Patricia Veen, one of our online training specialists, found a quote about training comparing it to going to the dentist! She says it typifies the attitude she most commonly meets in her work.

Is this your organisation too? Read on to find out.

"Training and development of people is a little like going to the dentist. We know we must for long term health, but we can put it off and often do. Addressing the need to develop our people is the same thing. We have to assume that a failure to do so will cause a problem down the line and do it now because it should be done, whether or not it makes a measurable difference today. But like brushing our teeth, we have to do it properly. A strategic intent must always be behind what we do, otherwise our aimless "brushing" will leave us still laden with slowly decaying infrastructures.

While machines excel at simple analysis, they don't have the intelligence to understand inference and judgement. So, while it is possible to undergo introductory and basic training using standard web-based courses, these are a one-size-fits-all approach. Regular follow-ups with a real person who can discuss, explain and listen in a human way is infinitely more beneficial."
