Followup, as you say IS key as it ensures the learning is embedded; sadly it is often overlooked as the corporate mind considers 'the training' to be the whole solution. Then its 'the training' that gets the blame for poor sales! Phil, thanks for your comment and indeed for supporting my argument.

This is a bold statement as I make my living from designing & delivering training courses!!! Time and Money can be wasted by buying the wrong training. Training in my opinion must be designed to suit the individuals attending first and then opperational needs next. If you can't engage the audience and give them tools they can use right away then it is a waste. The training is only as good as the followup actions taken by the learner or the company who sent them. Understanding something at an intelectual level is useless if it is not followed by actions. If you individually, or as a company invest in training courses then do nothing after the event, that is a waste of time! Training courses are not the only option to help people improve performance, coaching & mentoring are equally valuable use of time. I recommend a combination of both.
