Course Overview

Policy on needs-based annual training plans is judged by how it is applied in the difficult cases, not the easy ones. Data on training plans is abundant; insight about it is not. Across sectors, teams that rehearse the wider people management and development agenda outperform teams that only plan it. The programme converts needs-based annual training plans from an area of general awareness into a set of repeatable practices. The content is relevant to those who own this aspect of people management and development and to those who are held accountable for its results. They acquire practical criteria for judging when training plans is working and when it is only appearing to. Sessions alternate between guided analysis of needs-based annual training plans and supervised application. The version of training plans described in the manual and the version practised on the floor tend to diverge over time. It closes by agreeing the smallest change to the practice within people management and development that would make a visible difference.
