What are the Reasons to Invest in Training?<\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. All top sportspeople know, practice and live the fact that coaching and training<\/a> are vitally important to get to the top.<\/li>\n
  2. They also know that it is even more competitive at the top than it is on the way there.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Sporting analogies are often used in business to simplify and explain business situations; Why? <\/strong><\/p>\n

    Because there are a lot of similarities <\/a>between high-level sport and ANY level of business.\u00a0 One of these similarities is the critical importance of constantly honing skills, practicing techniques and preparing responses to different scenarios.<\/p>\n

    Another is the robust competition present in both the sporting and business arenas, and the fact that frequent training gives you a competitive edge, making it more likely that you will win that next match (or deal, contract, tender etc.).<\/p>\n

    If you are working for a progressive, aggressive, growing company<\/a>, your CEO probably spends 1 FTE average salary on his\/her own professional development.<\/p>\n

    It may be worthwhile requesting the same spending level on development of your whole Department\u2019s skills & training, on the basis that making the \u201cengine room\u201d of your company run better, gives the helmsman (CEO) more power to drive the company in the desired direction.<\/p>\n

    Increasing the skill levels of the whole Company increases business throughput without increasing head-count, maximising both profitability and growth potential.\u00a0 What CEO would not sign-off on such a proposition?<\/p>\n
