Description

The training and development function has made important contributions to the success of American corporations, but is it time now for an overhaul? Sims thinks it is. Not only does his book delineate the ways in which T&D has lost touch with the times, but it also identifies the ways in which it can - and must - be restructured and indeed "reinvented." It must be more responsive to customer demands and interests. It must participate in and contribute directly to competitive corporate strategies, and it must find ways to measure concretely its performance and its contribution to the corporate bottom line. Not only training and development people, but management in other areas will find this book thoughtful, provocative, and challenging.
