Document Summary
While many training professionals spend most of their time designing and delivering training programs, they are increasingly becoming more involved in strategic functions such as facilitating organizational change, managing organizational knowledge, career planning, and talent management. Training and development function is transforming into a learning and performance strategic function. It will focus more on results rather than activities and it will be integrated into business of the organization at a strategic level; training functions will become performance consulting centres and training professionals will become performance consultants. Performance consultants: the role of the trainer is not just to provide training and development, but also to provide solutions to performance problems. Given the increasing importance of lifelong learning and the learning organization, the role of the trainer is increasingly shifting from training to learning. The role of trainer is to facilitate and create learning opportunities throughout the organization, and to help organizations manage the transition to a learning organization.
