What Engaging E-Learning Topics Would Benefit Experienced Top Management?

Hello, I'm Dipika. In my office, I have created e-learning programs for our internal employees. I need help regarding some topics that I need to add to my program. The topics should be for top management. Please suggest some topics for top management people that I should include because they have 15-20 years of experience, and I need topics that will be interesting.

Training as an Intervention

Training is not an activity; it is an intervention. If you don't have a diagnosis, how would you plan a prognosis?

Identification of Training Needs

Training starts with the identification of training needs. Generally, TNI (Training Need Identification) falls into three categories:

1. **Organizational:** Includes strategic, futuristic needs identified by top management.
2. **Group:** Common needs in the context of the job for employees with similar job profiles, hence requiring similar knowledge, skills, and attitudes (competency).
3. **Individual:** Customized needs identified by individuals, focusing on the gaps and challenges they face in performing their roles.

In your case, have discussions with top management and heads of departments to understand business strategy plans, challenges, and how they can be translated into employees' competencies.
