Are You an Adapter or Adopter

I read an article just recently about adapting training to the downturn in the economy. What actually surprised me was that some companies were actually adapting their training programs instead of cutting them out all together and "adopting" the mantra that the sky is falling, we are in a recession and the world is coming to an end!!! What a relief to find that there are actually people who are still thinking on their feet and realizing that training IS important and that there ARE options available, like technology, that can substantially reduce cost and still have the same desired outcome. What a breath of fresh air to see that organizations are thinking of more creative and engaging training that goes (jeez I hate to say this) "out of the box". A deep sigh of relief that there is still hope for my fellow colleagues and one day we may actually prevail in leading this nation into a well educated future!
