“The Systematic Approach to Training (SAT) is a methodology for managing training programs. It is an orderly; logical approach to determining what people must know and do at a particular job or in a specific profession” (Dhawan, 2018, p.1). This approach is focusing on core objectives and “end in mind” to ensure that employees can master the main takeaways upon completion of the training in order to function properly. Pros to systematic training: “Organized Approach Clarity and Responsibility Recognizing the Student’s Abilities Hands-On Design” (Katchi, 2015, para.8). Some of the cons of systematic approaches are lack of adaptability, flexibility within the process, being able to change the structure on a moment’s notice or exercise innovative approaches to training. Please provide examples of systematic or any other training methods that are currently in place within your organization and analyze its pros and cons.
