The professional development trap: More training, less impact

The professional development trap: More training, less impact

Mike Erlin challenges the assumption that better professional development comes from offering more learning options. He argues that the real issue is not access to training, but a lack of alignment between what employees are learning and what their roles actually require. Generic, one-size-fits-all development, he suggests, leaves organisations with workforces that are over-trained but under-equipped.

Read the article to see why Mike believes role-relevant, capability-aligned learning, rather than more content or participation metrics, is the key to improving performance and delivering real return on development investment.
