And more than anything, your work is about producing revenues and increasing profits.Your training department, meanwhile, speaks the language of instructional processes and design strategies. They use phrases like "waterfall development," "needs analysis," and "learning objectives." But really, they want the same thing as you - effective training that provides the strongest return on their effort and ideas.This disconnect is a big problem in many organizations, because training is one of few functions that affects every part of your company.
