What Does Honest Abe Lincoln Have To Do With Company Growth
Is formal training important? After all we can all learn from other employees or from outside consultants we bring in can't we? Well, in my previous life as a consultant IT project director I noticed people would often be too busy doing their own job to learn the skills of an outside consultant too. That's despite massive efforts made to train people. But unless skills are used regularly after training they fade away. Learning from others in your own organisation can also be fraught. Learning by "sitting next to Nellie" as it's known can work. But it means that any weak custom and practise procedures are copied. These weak procedures may actually be the direct opposite of the company strategy. Also if you're learning from someone because they're just about to leave the company. For whatever reason.

WHAT MAKES A MANAGEMENT CONSULTANT GREAT? Part II of III
The Good Consultant Most experienced consultants usually have a knowledge base of information and issues that they have encountered over the years. They may also have established a network of other consultants who they can approach for solutions to a particular problem or issue.

Gathering Good Requirements
Successful training programs come from knowing exactly what the training must accomplish for the business, the department, and the individual. They don't just happen. Whether you are developing or contracting training, use these steps to improve your requirements-gathering process, spend less time doing it, and drive more effective training:

Do Effective Online Training Needs Learning Performance Assessment
To ensure that online training is providing the right training, for the right people, with the right return, creating meaningful performance assessments for online training is crucial. With meaningful and periodical performance assessments, training instructors would easily and efficiently measure all performances and provide valuable feedback to learners in training progress and then increase online training effect.
Consultants Can Be Scary but Do They Provide Value
As a CEO before I became a consultant ten years ago I had very little time for consultants and did not have a high opinion of them. One of the things that always stuck in my craw - and still does for that matter -- is to see a consultant conduct sales training that never actually carried a bag themselves. Some have very little if any experience in the field as an outside sales person. Even more concerning is to watch a consultant give leadership or business acumen advice when that consultant never had to meet a payroll or run a company personally. Consultants can provide real value on many occasions but they can also be your worst nightmare.
What are Training Brokers
Training brokers exist to help companies plan the training for their employees and to help organize further education for staffers. Intensive training needs often require some form of middle ground in order to sufficiently classify the proceedings, which is where a training brokerage comes in handy. It can be difficult to conclude whether training needs to be outsourced or take place in house, but a training broker can help gauge business needs and lead to decisions on diverse related matters. In short, a training broker completes the associated tasks with organizing training for employees. Any directorial tasks, such as scheduling or budgetary scrutiny, can also be left to the broker. He or she will work within a complex of allied groups to supply the business owner with the essential information about training programs,etc.
Is Your Sales Training Missing These Ingredients?
The last time you went on sales training, were you engaged in the decision? How long was the sale training and/or was the sales training ongoing or was it just the flavor of the month? When or what day(s) of the week was the sales training delivered - during pay time or no pay time? Did the sales training take your personal sales needs and learning methods into consideration? Were you able to apply the sales training methods in the real world? Were you encouraged to return for further sales training or to meet with your sales coach and discuss your experience? Was the sales training based on sales management objectives?

Why Most Sales Training Programs Do Not Produce Results
Most sales training programs do not produce lasting results simply because they are “canned”, just like TV laughter. They can be antiquated, ineffective, and not buyer focused. There is a definite need for most sales people, business owners and non-selling professionals to improve their ability to market and sell their products and services. I am referring to such non-selling professionals as consultants, lawyers, doctors, and dentist. There is a problem with a large percentage of sales training in the marketplace today. Just take a look at the end results subsequent to the sales training of yesteryear.

How to Become a Respected Name in Your Industry
If you’re like most consultants, the biggest problem you have when talking to new clients is to answer the question, “Why should I hire you instead of Katherine?” And if you are like most consultants, you’ll point to your college degrees and rattle off the names of your clients. The trouble is, most consultants can match you stride for stride, name for name. So what can make you stand out? The Media.
