Zusammenfassung: Demystifying Technical Training meets an important need in the technical training industry. While there is ample information on soft-skills training and management development, technical training is an underserved market and there is very little information available. Yet, technical training is an important subject that spans multiple industries and is increasingly important to everyone's job. Technical training is more than Information Technology (IT) training; it is critical in the health care, automotive, manufacturing, oil and gas, utilities and financial industries, among others. Given the paucity of information on managing technical training from a strategic perspective, this book addresses the gap by examining its history, providing key definitions, identifying important differentiators between technical training and other types of training and offering useful structures and processes for leading the technical training function. Because many training and HR professionals shy away from technical training, this book is intended to demystify technical training and break it down into its main components. Interviews and case studies interspersed throughout the book show how the complexities and intricacies of technical training play out. Using the concepts and recommendations in this book can help managers and training professionals respond proactively and effectively manage technical training.Zusammenfassung: Demystifying Technical Training: Partnership, Strategy, and Execution -- Contents -- List of Figures, Tables, Sidebars, and Case Studies -- Foreword -- Preface -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- Chapter 1: What Is Technical Training? -- The Complete Training Suite for Technical Experts -- Technical Training and Related Acitivities -- Summary: The Power of a Common Language -- Chapter 2: Challenges and Opportunities for Technical Training -- Environmental Factors -- Organizational Considerations -- Capability Aspects -- Summary: The Value Proposition for Technical Training -- Chapter 3: Differentiators of Technical Training -- What Are Differentiators? -- Analysis -- Design -- Development -- Implementation -- Evaluation -- Overarching Differentiators -- Summary: The Potential of Differentiators -- Chapter 4: Stakeholders of Technical Training -- Technical Training Stakeholder Needs -- Collaboration and Governance Structures -- Stakeholder Support and Buy-In -- Summary: The Requirements for Collaboration -- Chapter 5: Technical Training Strategy -- Primer on Strategy -- Components of Strategy -- Capabilities to Execute the Strategy -- Summary: Setting the Stage for Execution -- Chapter 6: Getting the Technical Training Agenda Funded -- Considerations in Advance of Funding -- Setting Up the Budget -- Managing the Budget -- Summary: The Art and Discipline of Budgeting -- Chapter 7: Staffing the Technical Training Organization -- Structure of the Training Function -- Technical Training Skills -- Technical Training Recruiting -- Managing the Technical Training Team -- Summary: Hiring and Development in a Nutshell -- Chapter 8: Technical Training Analysis, Design, and Development -- Identifying Technical Training Needs -- Prioritizing Technical Training -- Designing the Technical Training Portfolio.PPN: PPN: 808918680Package identifier: Produktsigel: ZDB-30-PAD | ZDB-30-PBE | ZDB-26-MYL | ZDB-30-PQE | ZDB-38-EBR
