February 24, 2003: Rave reviews for ?What CEOs Expect From Corporate Training?!!! Finally a work that provides insight about how to maximize your training initiatives, and how to add value to your training products in the eyes of one of your most important decision makers ? the CEO. In a time when being able to prove the return on investment of your training product is critical to the success and survival of this function, this book is an exceptional guide to where today?s organizations see the value of corporate training. This work is not only written for trainers, but human resource professionals in all aspects will gain valuable knowledge of how to help position their training efforts strategically. HRD professionals can gain an increased understanding of how to create a learning culture that will better meet the expectations of the organizations key customer and stakeholder ? the CEO. This book is a must read for those who desire to strengthen the position of the training function in their organization. Also worth noting are the more than 25 pages of self-assessment worksheets provided at the conclusion of the text. These tools are an immediate ?take-off-the-shelf? set of instruments that by themselves are far worth more than the cover price. I?ll be using this book continuously in my strategy planning sessions and as a benchmarking tool when making key decisions about how to position the training function. Hats off to a job done exceptionally well from cover to cover!!! ?What CEOs Expect From Corporate Training? is long overdue to anyone who wants their training function to be part of their organization?s competitive advantage.
