Real change in government program management must consider how new knowledge and skills can be applied by the learner prior to training. And many development initiatives focus more on compliance with existing mandates or the fulfillment of a training quota than on achieving necessary organizational change.

Without management involvement, most training initiatives don’t meet expectations. Adoption of new skills must be supported by the agency, manager and project team members to truly make a difference.
