Training departments are much different than they were five or 10 years, at least in part due to decreasing resources that require them to do more with less and the increasing role of technology in training development, delivery, and evaluation. There has been a shift away from training as a single function toward organizational development as a whole.

Training groups have become organizational consultants, and some traditional responsibilities of training and development have been redistributed re·dis·trib·ute

 Training Courses

* Sustaining the Impact of Training

* Growing Organizational Capacity

Each chapter is divided into tasks related to the chapter topic, and specific how-to information is given for each task. The information in each chapter is organized into lists that in some cases can be used as a step-by-step checklist. Because it is organized into lists, the book is easy to read, and concepts are quickly understood. You won't find paragraph after paragraph of text that you have to translate for real world application.

Some chapters also include templates to further organize the process, for example:

* A Training Priority Grid

* Self-Directed Learning Plan

* Workshop Evaluation

The index is well done, making it even easier to find exactly what you are looking for Looking for

How good is it?

The book includes all aspects of training program development and management. The content is very well organized and easy to translate into action. One thing lacking, however, is a variety of options for performing a task. For example, the book presents only one way to develop a training department budget. The process described will work, and you can easily adapt it, but it would be nice to know about major alternative approaches. Still, that's asking a lot of a book that tries to cover so much ground and not balloon balloon, lighter-than-air craft without a propulsion system, lifted by inflation of one or more containers with a gas lighter than air or with heated air. During flight, altitude may be gained by discarding ballast (e.g.  into an unwieldy tome (the kind that sits unused on bookshelves or finds a new life as a doorstop doorstop - Used to describe equipment that is non-functional and halfway expected to remain so, especially obsolete equipment kept around for political reasons or ostensibly as a backup.

Recommendation

If you are looking for concise, reliable advice on all aspects of training and development, The Trainer's Tool Kit could be the book for you. It provides how-to instruction relating to relating to relate prepconcernant

 every aspect of training program development, operation, and delivery in one easy-to-read book--at a very modest price, too. Don't expect a lot of depth or presentations of alternative approaches--that isn't what this book is about.
