Prof.VGK firmly believes that training is a self decision and it cannot be thrust on anyone but people can be influenced / motivated to learn. Also he does not believe that training is a mere lecture series covering various topics . According to him, one can learn hardly 20% from a trainer and 80% only through his own efforts and self-training methods. Prof.VGK loves training very much and wants it to be an interesting process and every training can be a major turning point in ones life . Training is a systematic learning process to achieve the set learning objectives with and with out a trainer. Training is not teaching unknown things only , but high lighting known things with a thrust to self-actualization, achievement motivation & behavior modification . In training, the trainer also learns new things and trainees also can act as trainers . Hence training is a learning process and also making others learn more . Trainers have to help trainees to learn what they want to learn , rather than delivering what they have and want to. Trainees must demand what they need from trainers instead of passively receiving inputs from trainers . Training is a need based 2 way learning process of modifying the needed behavior to manage the challenges and achieve the goals set . Hence Prof.VGK very much believes in adult learning methods and processes rather than simply confined to the content oriented traditional approach . With out a proper needs assessment , he does not organize any training . Like a medical practitioner prescribes medicines after a thorough diagnosis, he prefers to design any training after needs assessment . He always tailor makes training programs for the needs of Corporate , based on a thorough needs assessment . Before conducting any training he gives a simple needs assessment questionnaire to sensitize the participants on the training module and provoke the thinking before coming to training session and also to assess their skill level concerning the module. Every training can help executives, develop managerial abilities, mould positive attitudes, enhance the self-renewal capability, triggering passion for excellence and thereby creating a positive work culture and also address Business development / Organization development / Personal development.
