Measuring The Success of Training - The Dream

  The Dream - 'Deliver the Training and then Go Away!'

The objective of most training is to deliver change and development at low cost and input from the business and its people. Whilst this is a desirable position it does mean that the quality of the training and its effectiveness can tend to be hi-jacked by the need for 'cost-effectiveness'. 

The view is that a change in behaviour will be achieved by a one or two-day workshop that will deliver clear and key learning points which will then migrate across into the workplace environment.

Maybe some training needs a more medium-to-longer-term approach.  In other words maybe a some training needs  greater investment to deliver long-term benefits?  Thus the diagram shows the simple or naive approach to training and development initiatives within some businesses.
