«Good for the right person.»
I'm someone who usually takes a great deal from what I read. I didn't take much from this book, but do see the value of it for certain types of very analytical program directors. RUNNING TRAINING LIKE A BUSINESS may be great for some people, but this book really put me to sleep (and it is rare for me to get sleepy when I read). I hope the authors have a much more captivating training program.
This book came very highly recommended to me by several different people. As I was reading it on the plane, the man across the aisle even commented to me on what a great book it was, so I must conclude that my lack of connection here must just be me. Sorry.

«Outstanding Book»
This is a great book for showing the way to trainers so that they avoid the tendency to always do things the way they have always been done in an environment of changing business models. "Running Training Like a Business" is a welcome book in that it simply and methodically explains how the training function can be run effectively as a profit centre of an organisation.
The authors recognize the intertwined realities of a new workforce psyche, the technology-driven acceleration of information flow and the intense competition for knowledge resources. Adelsberg and Trolley offers a host of innovative down-to-earth techniques that can be applied almost immediately with little or no cost. Adelsberg and Trolley's book is a recipe for change which trainers are advised to adopt.
The book is recommended reading for managers who are interested in adopting the growing trend of running training as a business.

«Balanced, Practical, and Applicable»
As a training practitioner with 10 years of experience, I found this book to be a breath of fresh air. It provided many practical tools and applications for integrating training into a company's business strategy without losing sight of the fact that workplace education is inherently valuable to all employees.
