We are faced with an important step change for training as more and more organisations demand real results from their training investments, visible improvements in workforce performance, lean thinking and innovative pracitce, achievement of quality standards of output and measurable results demonstrated by financial balance sheets.
Training can once again be the key to organisational survival during our somewhat turbulent economic times and in so doing assure longer-term sustainability. However, much of the value-added from training can be lost through poor management, systems and training processes.
ISO 10015 and its additional (+) factor, is creating new ripples of excitement around the world as organisations learn how to gain real value by working towards and achieving the ISO 10015 - Quality Management Standard Certification.
