Digg It - The Benefits of Scenario Based Training
The world that people live and work in is complex. The behaviours and skills required to solve a simple problem are always multi-dimensional. And yet much, or indeed most, training developed and executed in corporate training programmes are linear in nature. This mismatch between the real world
According to USFDA, a combination product is one composed of any combination of a drug and device; biological product and device; drug and biological product
and the training world makes it a certainty that organisations are wasting their training dollar.

- Observation and reflection
