Abstract
Learning enables change, and it is becoming a necessary part of everyone’s job. Today’s work force must be able to adapt quickly to new business directions and ways of working, to new information, and to new projects and work groups. Timely action can make the difference between success and failure in bringing new products and services to market. To stimulate learning and motivate needed changes, corporations have invested in training programs that are designed to impact both organizational and individual performance.
