Ed Trolley, author of Running Learning like a Business, recognized that businesses were having trouble interacting with training organizations because the language, behaviors and measures of success were drastically different. His proposed solution is simple: run training like any other business.

The foundations of his solution are effectiveness and efficiency. An effective training organization will get more than a dollar back for every dollar they spend, adding value to the business. An efficient training organization will operate at acceptable, not lowest, cost.

In the value chain of training activities, many companies mistakenly focus on the activities that add little value to the larger organization. This does not mean that you stop doing low value-added activities because there are many important functions that don’t add value. However, if you were to plot these different functions on a graph it would look like a camel’s hump. This ‘camel chart’ can reveal the high value activities that should receive more resources than the low value-added activities.

Henry Alfred Kissinger (born May 27, 1923) is a German-born American political scientist, diplomat, and winner of the Nobel Peace Prize. He served as National Security Advisor and later concurrently as Secretary of State in the Nixon Administration.

A proponent of Realpolitik, Kissinger played a dominant role in United States foreign policy between 1969 and 1977. During this period, he pioneered the policy of détente. He negotiated a settlement ending the Vietnam War, but the cease-fire proved unstable and no lasting peace resulted beyond the pullout of the US troops.

Kissinger is still praised by colleagues today. He was honored as the first recipient of the Ewald von Kleist Award of the Munich Conference on Security Policy and currently serves as the chairman of Kissinger Associates, an international consulting firm. Kissinger was the “most frequent visitor” to the George W. Bush White House as an unofficial political adviser on Israel and the Middle East—including the invasion and occupation of Iraq.

Kissinger is criticized and even accused of war crimes, most prominently by Christopher Hitchens, for the policies he promoted during the Vietnam war and for his role in the establishment of dictatorial regimes in Latin America.

The challenge for organizations is to move away from talking about storytelling and incorporating it into two places within the business:
- Different workshops or classes
- Into the processes where business is conducted

After storytelling is incorporated, the message should be taken to the leadership within the organization and address three areas where it could benefit the organization:
1. Move forward strategy for the organization as a whole
2. Sales and marketing
3. Branding

It is also important to understand where the systems fit into the work process, and how they could benefit from a competency perspective.

A few years ago, DDI was struggling to embed the organization’s three strategic priorities in employee thinking. An employee in the communications department came up with the idea to turn in six stories every two weeks, two stories on each of the three strategic priorities. The idea was to send a story on a Friday afternoon in a voicemail. Employees could do any of the following:
- Listen in real-time
- Save it and listen to it later
- Download it to their computers
- Download them online

The President loved the idea and currently, each employee knows the three strategic priorities.

If this is true, this leads to the question of why we do we continue to do it? A group of CEOs came together through the Society for Organizational Learning to discuss this as well as how to develop and sustain a learning organization culture.
