Management Development that Works

Abstract

Much has been written about the importance of management development. However, there is little documented evidence of it really making a difference. While training methods are getting more and more sophisticated, methods for ensuring that training and development are integrated with business performance are still relatively crude, relying heavily on the good intentions of senior managers. An important shift in thinking is required—it is not good enough to think only about design of development activities. It is equally essential to design activities which serve to integrate learning and tackle practical organisation problems.
