Module
1 Discussion Topic

Kareco,
Inc. is a medium-sized medical equipment company with about 1,000 employees
distributed between sales, marketing, customer service, operations, product
development, and administrative support (e.g., HR, accounting, etc.). Most of
their training and development needs have been provided by 3rd party
contractors in the past. Now, the CEO has come to you for advice about how to
bring training back into the organization. Primarily, she is concerned about
structure: should training & development functions be centralized (to HR or
to a training team) or decentralized (to management and other department
leaders)?
What
do you suggest? Take a position, being sure to explain your reasoning and any
additional assumptions you must make about the characteristics of Kareco.
Respond
to at least two of your classmates’ posts by 11:59 PM EST/EDT Sunday.
Specifically:

Where do your ideas and your peers
ideas contrast? Why?

What points did your peers make that
might convince you that their suggested structure would be more effective?

What did your peers neglect to mention
that would add to their discussion?

Integrity and the criticality of ethical behavior. You should expect to take
2-3 pages (double-spaced, 12-point font) for your response (not including any

What
ethical issues should trainers be mindful of?

What
legal and liability issues should trainers be mindful of?

Do

Module
3 Discussion Topic

Proactive
vs. Reactive Needs Analysis
Your
textbook, Effective Training explains that needs analysis can be
proactive (planned in advance for a future performance gap) or reactive (conducted
here and now to address an immediate, current performance gap). Provide an
example of a situation (either a real past experience or a hypothetical) in
which you would recommend either a proactive or a reactive needs analysis (pick
one). Describe the situation and explain why you believe the type of needs
analysis you chose would be most practical. What would the outcome be if no
needs analysis was conducted?

Respond
to at least two of your classmates’ posts by 11:59 PM EST/EDT Sunday.
Specifically:
What points did
your peers make that you agree with? What information did they include
that you may have overlooked?Where do you and
your peers disagree? What could you suggest to strengthen their position?Would a
different type of needs analysis (or no needs analysis) be more practical
in this situation? Why or why not?
