Foreword
I am delighted that Bob Vaughn and his publisher, BerrettKoehler, have asked me to write a foreword to this book. Delighted because the 13 chapters will guide you through the “souptonuts” steps that professional trainers regard as essential to success. As Professor Vaughn mentions in his Preface, if you’re an experienced trainer in the HRD field, you will probably want to read selectively rather than from cover to cover, picking those chapters that best meet your immediate needs. Of course, as readers go you may be the exception rather than the rule: most of today’s trainers are relatively new to the field. (Membership in ASTD changes by about onethird every year.) Who are these new trainers? Many are experienced employees whose skills and proficiency on the job led a senior manager to invite each of them to become a trainer in order to impart these skills and proficiencies to others. In many organizations the role of trainer is either a parttime responsibility or a fulltime job held for one or two years. These trainers then can move on with their chosen career path. (Inciden tally, many of these “pro tem” trainers opt to remain in the HRD field and thus launch a new career path!) We live in an age of innovation. Some 25% of the jobs that exist today were not known as recently as ten years ago. Recently Bill Gates of Microsoft made this statement: “In three years every product we make will be obsolete. The only question is whether we’ll make them obsolete or someone else will.” Change requires training, and the rate of change is accelerating at a breathless pace. Do you remember what a slide rule is? A typewriter? Carbon paper? A clothes line? A coffee percolator? A mimeograph machine? A dot matrix printer? To be sure, the one thing that remains constant is change. A half century ago the image most people had of corporate training included a classroom with an instructor up front, often “good ole Charlie” who had three years to go before retirement.
