David Maister says training is useless

David has a thought provoking post about why most of the training people take in business is useless. I particularly liked his test of whether a particular workshop or training course is well timed:
If the training were entirely optional and elective, and was only available in a remote village accessible only by a mule, but people still came to the training because they were saying to themselves ‘I have got to learn this – it’s going to be critical for my future’, then, and ONLY then, you will know you have timed your training well. Anything less than that, and you are putting on the training too soon.
