Nice pointers Utpal.
A couple of quick additions:
1) Evaluate how these learning areas will enable the organization to build capabilities in line with market demands.
2) Post-training, evaluate how these trainings helped individual’s performance. Most training programs fail, not because of training itself, but because of lack of follow-through activities.
Cheers!
