Models of organizing the training department

1. MODELS OF ORGANIZING THE
TRAINING DEPARTMENT

2. • Organisation models helps us to understand that
the organisation of the training department has
important consequences for how the training
department contributes to the business strategy.
• The business embedded model and the corporate
university model are the models that companies
are moving to in order to ensure that training is
used to help the company achieve its objectives.

3. Centralised training
• Many companies like Boeing, Harley Davidson
have centralised their training departments.
• Centralised training means the training and
development programs, resources, and
professionals are primarily housed in one
location and that decisions about training
investment, programs and delivery methods
are made from that department.

4. • A centralised training function helps companies
better integrate programs for developing leaders
and managing talent with training and learning
during times of change.
• The key o success of a centralised approach is
that top managers must believe they are in
control of the training function and that the
training function is aligned with the business
strategy. i.e the business objectives have to be
communicated and understood and training and
development have to help drive that strategy.
