Training
developments in the NL and USA |
| Context |
Comparative
study, based on an US survey (published 1994) and a subsequent Dutch survey,
with nearly identical questionnaires, referring to 17 potential organisational
developments (organisational, technological and training developments). |
| Summary |
Training
related developments anticipated by HRD professionals in the Netherlands
and the USA show the following probability:
-
less emphasis
on traditional training concepts; learning will be more integrated with
work: NL higher than USA;
-
increase
in self-guided learning and team learning: NL higher than USA;
-
increased
employee responsibility for own work and career path: NL a bit higher than
USA;
-
more training
will be delivered 'just in time' and directly within the context of a job
or task: NL about equal to USA;
-
the emphasis
on high-performance work implies shift from isolated skill building to
performance improvement: NL equal to USA;
-
companies
will continue to experiment with centralisation and decentralisation, searching
for the right mix of overall direction and local delivery of training:
NL lower than USA.
