In order to align training efforts with the strategic goals of an enterprise and create effective instruction, organizations need to link strategic goals with training delivery goals and methods. This can also be done qualitatively if the data exists to measure the impact of the training being delivered within the organization.

Sometimes it is better to automate the process and eliminate the need for training. Training is time consuming, expensive and not always effective. The kiosk is so easy to use that you don’t require any training; you just follow the instructions on the screen. It doesn’t always make sense to teach or educate people.

At one organization, the training of a new employee takes so long that managers and supervisors are becoming frustrated at the slowness of the rate of preparation. It is almost 6-8 weeks of nothing but training. In both cases, training has become a bottleneck. In both cases, the solution is to disaggregate the training.
