Random ramblings that might, or might not, relate to training, learning, development, and management

Author: andrewjacobslnd

An L&D Manager, determined that Learning and Development should be an integral part of business activity. Too often managers ask for training as an afterthought, and, since L&D haven't been involved in the design, it fails.
