Organizations send participants to a learning programme because they can contribute to achieving specific objectives; e.g. contribute to the development or change process/plan. It is important to identify, preferably prior to the workshop, which competencies will support the organisations‟ expected results and impact.
Certain organizational objectives might not be reached because of non training specific problems or obstacles (policies, structure, processes, regulations, etc.).
Identifying indicators of achievement of the learning objectives may help you appreciate the result of the participants‟ learning/training, at the benefit of the organization.
Hearing and considering the expectations of participants‟ and their organizations‟ can create trust and develop partnerships.
