I am Justin Ward an Instructional Designer, entrepreneur,
leader and visionary. Your position on training is
not surprising but is typical.
However, training ain’t performance and telling ain’t training (Stolovitch
& Keeps). “Training skills are necessary to perform, but not sufficient
alone” (Stolovitch). Allow me a moment to
increase clarity and address issues that may persist.
Training, instruction, and
education are all used to trigger learning. The whole purpose of the three is
to enable people to learn. The mission is not to transmit information but to
transform learners (Stolovitch & Keeps).
Training should actually support the organizations goals and
objectives. The three of them, training, instruction, and education, work together
to achieve desired behavioral outcomes, enhance intellect and efficiency. Top
down one way communication is not enough. Relevant training keep team members
relevant, updated, competitive, and highly knowledgeable which is vitally
important to the success of the entire organization
