analyze key elements of training and development geared toward improving the performance of the specific small business for which you are consulting.The power of the group comes from rewards the group gives to members that follow group norms, or punishment it gives to those who do not. Group dynamics can be used to support high or low performance. Norms that are developed in line with organizational goals support higher performance. 6. How can training be designed to motivate learning and accommodate trainee differences? a. Identify the types of individual learning strengths and problems and tailor the training around these b.

In order to answer this question successfully it’s important to address both internal and external factors. Addressing internal environmental factors with a reactive strategy will improve employees’ performance in a faster way. Organizations need to determine strengths and weaknesses to remain in competition. In addition,internal strategies provide direction in addressing training needs. External environmental factors consist of elements outside the organization that impact its performance. It is important to determine threats and opportunities to remain in competition. However, an adequate internal environment will allow businesses to response external demands accordantly.
Please review the strategic plan of the organization. It is important to understand where the business would like to be in the future.A proactive strategy focuses on the long term. Taormina needs to improve its sales performance immediately. A reactive strategy addresses current problems. The organization must act quickly in order to remain in competition. The proactive and reactive approaches are necessary for an organization to be effective. However, in this case, Taormina needs to adopt a reactive strategy approach to solve the organizational performance gap.
Different people require different training methods because there can be large individual learning differences. Examples of this can be (1) considerable differences in knowledge, skills, and attitudes, as well as (2) the differences in the characteristics of instrumentality, skepticism, resistance to change, attention span, expectation level, dominant needs, absorption needs, and topical interest.
