Policy on training budget optimisation is judged by how it is applied in the difficult cases, not the easy ones. A process for the wider people management and development agenda that managers quietly work around has already failed. The result is the confidence to make and defend decisions about this area of people management and development under scrutiny. It establishes a shared vocabulary for training budget optimisation so that teams can disagree productively about it. Post-incident reviews keep identifying weaknesses in the practice within people management and development that were visible long before the incident. The programme works equally well for those formalising this aspect of people management and development for the first time and those improving an existing approach. Buying a tool rarely fixes training budget optimisation; the underlying capability has to be built internally first. Participants apply the people management and development discipline to their own workforce throughout, so the output is directly usable. Participants finish with a short, specific brief on this aspect of people management and development ready to put in front of a decision maker.
