Why Can't Elephant Dance
Title phase borrowed partly from infarmous Louis Gerstner of the similar book's title.
We penettrated an SME account, that is after my account manager been knocking on the door for over a year. When it finally happened, it was of course a cause for celebration. It was a 2-days course in a local hotel. 90% of the delegates are long serving employee, some have been with the company for over 30 years. That was they FIRST training course. Unbeliveable? Believe it!
Talking to them during lunch time, and the feedbacks gotten from them can't help but concluded they were really enraptured by the training. Just imagined, some of them took session photos, with an atmosphere of festivities!
The point is why can't the top bosses, or person(s) in the position of making decision see the value and benefits from staff training? Ironically, in an organisation the very same person who is responsible for company performance could be the biggest obstacle, or "competitive disadventage"personified!
