How will the training function need to change

to reflect the workplace?

WorkThe way that we have worked,

and what we consider employment, has changed

through the centuries

19th Century

The work environment was relatively simple and best practices for management and communications were developed that still inform many of our current work

practices.

The information age emerged and organisations had to deal with complicated environments. The flood of management books is an example that there was no single best practice,

only good practices.

21st Century

Our work environments are becoming complex, blurring the lines between work, home and play. We now have access to

anyone at anytime.

• Simple - Cause & Effect Obvious

• Complicated - Cause & Effect needs Analysis

• Complex - Cause & Effect only seen in Retrospect

• Chaotic - No Relation between Cause & Effect
