The Appeal And Limitation of Generic Training
Generic training programmes are popular because they are convenient and easy to deploy.
However, many organisations quickly realise that despite good content, the impact is limited.Participants may enjoy the session, but behaviour and performance remain unchanged.
This happens because one-size-fits-all training rarely reflects the real challenges organisations face.
Every Organisation Has Unique Needs
Organisations differ in:
- Culture and leadership style
- Industry demands
- Team dynamics
- Business objectives
When training ignores these differences, relevance is lost—and without relevance, engagement drops.
Why Customised Training Drives Better Outcomes
Customised training:
- Addresses real workplace issues
- Uses familiar scenarios and language
- Aligns learning with organisational goals
- Encourages practical application
Participants see direct value because the learning speaks to their daily experiences.
Engagement Increases When Learning Feels Relevant
When people recognise themselves in the content:
Participation increases
Discussions become more meaningful
Learning is retained longer
Behaviour change is more likely
Relevance creates connection—and connection drives commitment.
Custom Training Supports Long-Term Development
Customised training also allows organisations to:
- Build consistent development journeys
- Reinforce desired behaviours over time
- Align leadership and team expectations
- Measure impact more effectively
This turns training into a strategic development tool rather than a one-off activity.
