Why is training important?

 

Good technology, appropriately configured is only part of the solution. At the end of day, all technology involves some human interaction. Training is an investment in your people that pays out via improved efficiency and productivity. That in turn leads to improve profitability.

Many business actually fear training their staff because they fear these people will then take that training and leave. In fact, the opposite is true. Good employees seek out good businesses that offer them training and career development. They are in turn much more likely to stay with a business that provides on going training and skill development.

As you invest in technology you should also invest in training so your business can get the most from that technology. Without that you are simply using technology in ‘first gear’.

Testimonials

"Learning from Robert Crane at these Bootcamps and elsewhere is well worth anyone's time and money IMHO. In this ever changing world of technology Robert knows his 'stuff', is willing to share and is simply a font of knowledge that no one in the IT Game (consultant or end user/customer) can readily do without. Besides these Bootcamps are professionally run, quite a lot of fun, and real eye openers to tips and best practices. Robert delivers information on real-world solutions and is always readily available to assist colleagues and others. In summary I would recommend any meeting or Training Session that Robert hosts".
