First sentence: The training field has evolved over the past sixty years from a primary focus on training individuals to improve their job performance to a more comprehensive focus on individual, group, and total organizational performance improvement.
Description: "What CEOs Expect from Corporate Training reveals at long last what executives hope to achieve when they pour considerable financial commitment into workplace learning initiatives. And while it may be no surprise that they want to tie these programs directly to corporate goals, their input on how these objectives are structured, funded, and evaluated holds the key to developing and realizing relevant, effective T&D.".

"The authors have created this one-of-a-kind book based on dozens of extensive interviews with CEOs from a broad cross section of professions and industries. Their detailed answers - divided into subtopics, compiled, annotated, and analyzed by the authors - paint a clear picture not only of the role that workplace learning plays in achieving corporate objectives, but also of the very particular ways in which WLP professionals can (and must) design and run their programs."--BOOK JACKET.
