CERTAIN beliefs aren’t questioned; in any office there are some things that are just accepted as true.
Training is one of those areas of business life that has a number of unspoken ‘truths’. But where did they come from? And are they really true? If you don’t challenge your thinking, you can’t break out from practices that are costing you time and money.
Myth 1: More equals better
You know this one. The assumption that a day’s training will be more valuable than a half-day. It must be better because it’s longer. Right or wrong?
Myth 2: Attendance equals learning
Is it true that once you have attended a course you know and implement everything you have learned?
Myth 3: Cascade training saves you money
‘Let’s just pay to have one person trained and then they can train everyone else in the office.’

Five Benefits of Faster Report Design
Some report requests come with far too little lead time. And, it’s these instances that tend to be the most urgent. To fulfil the request, you have to drop everything, pull the necessary data and format the report in a way that will highlight the right information and resonate with the target audience. Meanwhile, other tasks continue to accumulate. Figure out how to accelerate report design, and you’ll deliver a higher level of analytical services while also recapturing time to address your other responsibilities.
