Everyone knows the importance of continued training in this
very competitive economy. Management training is typically a
2-5 day event, complete with travel. The information is
taught very quickly. Its like trying to drink out of a fire
hose. You also are leaving your business shorthanded at the
same time. After said trip the tendencies to fall back into
your same old habits. I'm curious how interested folks might
be in a self study formatted system. A system that you could
help you decide on a goal, format a plan and achieve desired
results. The kind of system that lets you follow your vision
while still giving the needed format & steps to get you
to your goal.
1. Are you aware of any self-study management training
material such as a textbook, videotape, cassette tape or PC
based program? If so what is the name/title?
2. If self-study management training materials were made
available, would you be interested in obtaining it? Why or
why not?
3. If you were in the market to obtain a self-study
management training program, which of the following formats
would you prefer?
- Textbook
- Video Tape
- Combination Book and Video Tape
- Audio CD
- Combination Book and Audio CD
- PC Based Multimedia (Interactive CD)
- Website based text book & blog
4. What content would you want to be included in such a
program? (i.e. write-up and dispatch processes, pricing
policies, how to determine profit margin, how to properly
equip the shop, setting up the shop, productivity analysis,
environmental issues - waste material management)
