Several areas which demonstrate a need for improvement have been identified and possible solutions suggested. A process to initiate improvements which are sustainable could begin with a questionnaire given initially to all T&CD middle managers from Team Leader up. One pertinent question is provided for each of the sections of this white paper. Questions are open-ended, have no “right” answer and are designed to be thought provoking.
1. In your opinion, why are complaints from line organizations regarding low levels of English proficiency amongst newly-graduated trainees on the increase?
2. In your opinion, how can technology be better integrated into the “learning landscape” of the company?
3. In your opinion, does T&CD need a “Continuing Excellence” group? Kindly state the reasons for your answer.
4. Does cheating in tests reduce the effectiveness of T&CD programs? If so, how can the situation be improved?
