Advisory Power and Predicament in Organisational Training

Abstract

Lack of support on the part of line managers and executives for the training function is the most important factor contributing to predicaments in organisational training. Attention is drawn to the behaviours, attitudes and characteristics that can bring about changes that will either impede or support the successful outcome of training interventions. Information was drawn mainly from a field study done in the UK and Jamaica, and from the author′s own professional experience. Relevant themes and issues are explored, and emphasis given to what trainers can do to improve their own profiles to gain recognition for the training function.
