Module 4 Discussion Topic
You’re doing well in your position as VP of Training &
Development at Kareco, the medical equipment company. Opie, the VP of
Operations, came to you the other day with good news:
“We’re ready to roll on production of our new line of
electric wheelchairs,” he said. “I just worked with HR to hire 18 new
technicians to handle the manufacturing. Now all we have to do is train them.
Can you have them trained by next Tuesday?”
You hear yourself tell Opie, “We can. It will be tough, but
not impossible.”
Discuss your 2 or 3 most important concerns related to the
design of this training, based on the material covered in this module and
Chapter 5 of your textbook.
How will Opie’s department need to contribute to the design
of the training? How will the training department need to contribute?
Respond to at least two of your classmates’ posts by 11:59
PM EST/EDT Sunday.
Specifically:
Where did you and your peers differ in your major concerns?
What would you add to their discussion?
What did you think of how your peers incorporated Opie’s
operations department and the training department into the design of this
training?
