I think I understand your point now.
Might I suggest that the criteria for justifying any training, or for that matter any other activity, will be set by the party that is paying for it. Directly this is often the senior management team or the head of department that holds the budget that is paying for the training, or that is sending people on the training.
Indirectly the criteria will be set by the customer.
So, there are times when it can be argued it is all about finance and ROI.
I agree that the reality is it will be other tings too, such as delivery method, training objectives, how it fits in to the strategic picture, what the customers or competition are doing, and so on.
Have a good weekend!
