Today, more than ever, top management demands that training supports the organization's business objectives and strategies. To achieve this, an organization must focus on delivering training through a deliberate process that supports sustainability. The speakers in this session, through client-centered research, have discovered five critical success factors to deliver training that provides tangible value and results in productivity and profitability. They will present these five success factors with a special emphasis on the most critical and difficult to achieve: top management support. They will present a powerful and compelling framework to engage the most difficult and doubting senior executives because there is no doubt that top management support increases training impact.
