A comprehensive training plan is developed for three compelling reasons:

• To help you assess where you are now
• To help you determine where you need to be
• To develop and document systematic, measureable strategies for getting there

Needs
• What are my short-term needs?
• What are my long-range goals?
• How will I identify needs?
• How will I establish priorities?

System
• Does our training system work now?
• What are our training policies?
• How will we measure success?
• How will we keep our system fair?

Standards
• What will make the system better?
• Who will judge training effectiveness, and how?
• Do existing policies undermine our efforts?
• How will we handle special cases?

Methods
• What will be our sequence and blend of training activities?
• How will training materials be developed or procured?
• How will I manage the training process across my facility?
• How will materials be accessed? Stored?

Staff
• What are the strengths and weaknesses of our training team?
• How do I get the most from my training staff and facilities?
• Where do I go if I need more training horsepower than I have?
• How will I schedule training?

Budget
• How do I decide what my training priorities really are?
• How will I know that the training process is paying off?
• What return on my training investment do I expect to achieve?
• How will I measure training success?

  Answers to these and a host of other questions can provide you with a portrait of your present system, and the critical input you and your colleagues need to determine the kind of learning system that your facility needs.
