ABSTRACT
A management development approach, primarily concerned with planning and training for those few managers with exceptionally high potential. Management education is recognised as making at least an indirect contribution to profits in the long term. It is seen as being of considerable help in keeping the company up to date and in touch with other companies' activities. Training audit information may come from a wide range of activities and the trainer must be aware of the possibilities and be involved in any aspect of the operation of the business that will yield training information. A consultant-type survey within an organisation by a representative group of managers is a means of tackling training analysis as well as other problems. Group training techniques will frequently form part of a training or change programme designed to improve organisational effectiveness and group management performance. The trainers must be able to call upon every diagnostic technique available to the management or organisation consultant.
