Learning and Development (L&D) is perhaps as important a function in an organization as Sales and Marketing. However, it has not got the same respect as it has always been considered a cost center instead of being a part of the business that supports in the increase of the bottom-line (or the topline). The purpose of this book is to provide this knowledge to L&D professionals and to anyone who wants to learn about the L&D function in general.
 
This book will answer the most important question of how to address the challenge of aligning training goals with the business goals of the organization.
 
It will also delve into the complete end to end process of designing, developing, and delivering the training as well as measuring the effectiveness of the training.
 
The metrics to be considered while calculating the Return on Investment (ROI) of the training would also be described.
