What’s keeping you awake at night? The need to match training to the hard business realities

Abstract

While there are many training programmes on change management, how often do these and other training programmes actually reflect the changes that constantly occur in the business, social and economic environments? While a number of issues may cause acute concern to both business leaders and those who buy training; this article contends that very few training interventions actually address them or offer answers to the implied problems within them. It charts the investigation into these key issues by one training provider, MDA, and its subsequent tailoring of approach, both to the marketing and delivery of customised solutions. It also describes its work in developing and tailoring business simulations to generate highly realistic situations that ensure participants address and confront topical situations.
