Opportunities and Challenges for Training

6. The business environment has become
extremely dynamic. Therefore
companies are forced to realign their
activities to meet new conditions. This
requires people at all level to make day-
to-day decisions that are kinked to
strategy. Likewise, training activities will
also need to be continually realigned to
support the strategic direction of the
company ad the people who carry it
out.
