TP vs. Corporate “Training”

June 1st, 2009 · No Comments · change, management, military, Training

Tom Peters poses a thought provoking question here:

Why does corporate America devote so little time to training?

He compares corporate training to military training. The military trains ALL THE TIME. I just watched the Marines Corp Mountain Survival reality tv show the other day.

I love Tom’s question of closing stores 1 day a week for training. How much revenue would be lost that day versus revenue made during the rest of the 6 days. I bet you would grow revenue in a heartbeat.

Here’s an idea…a training course on how and why to run a meeting. Require everyone to go through it until they figure it out.

If they don’t figure it out, send them to Mountain Survival School. :)

Why you DO think we don’t spend money on training?
