Training programs at most
impact âAwarenessâ stage
of the transformation
A robust talent management program impacts all the 4 stages of skills
transformation
90% of all training interventions designed to change habits or behaviours
do not achieve their objectives. This explains why leadership
performance has only improved by 20% over the last 20 years inspite of
annual global expenditure on leadership development in excess of âŹ40
billion!
Now more than ever, training and people development interventions
need to show a tangible impact on business performance and ultimately
the bottom lineâŚ
