How Do HR Professionals Select Development Programs?

ngurjar
Anayaat,

Thanks for the clarification. The faculty is attached to the vendor, so, it indirectly meant what I was indicating.

Anyway, good to note that the employees in your company are aware. I recall once a SBU Head of a large company calling me just before a program and asking me about the intervention. He had a one-hour discussion earlier on this and some literature as well... So, its a question of WHO is asking as well... Obviously, the answer would differ from person to person. To give you the surprise, this person was so impressed by the intervention during the first interaction that he had nominated 3 other senior managers from his company after the briefing (and they had to cancel their travel plans, etc. etc.)... Still I got this call asking me about what the intervention was!!! Apparently, the 3 others were not sure of what they would get in the program. But here, I know that the content sold itself. We seldom see executives coming in that way...

At the end of the day, we conduct consulting interventions, which we call development programs (and these are not traditional training and development, more of consultative development and coaching). And in any case, people still do come to the intervention saying they don't know what it is about :-)
