Myth 1: Think training is a panacea to solve problems

Many enterprises in the face of various problems or challenges, often the first reaction is to carry out training. For example, if the staff turnover rate is high, it is necessary to carry out employee satisfaction training; if the sales volume is low, it is necessary to carry out sales skills training; if there are many customer complaints, it is necessary to carry out service quality training; if the team cooperation is poor, it is necessary to carry out group building activities... This way of thinking that training is a panacea to solve the problem, ignoring the root and complexity of the problem, as well as the limitations and conditionality of the training itself.

In fact, not all problems can be solved through training, and not all training can achieve the desired results. Some problems may be caused by organizational structure, system design, incentive mechanism, market environment and other factors, rather than lack of employee ability or attitude. Some problems may take longer or more resources to solve, rather than one-time or short-term training. Some issues may involve multiple or multi-level factors, rather than a single or simple training content can cover.

Therefore, when selecting and using training consulting services, enterprises should avoid this misunderstanding, but according to the nature and extent of the problem, analyze whether training is needed, and the scope and extent of the problem that training can solve. At the same time, enterprises should also be clear training objectives and expectations, as well as training costs and benefits, so as to make reasonable decisions and arrangements.

Misunderstanding 2: Ignoring training needs analysis and evaluation

Many enterprises in the selection and use of training consulting services, often only focus on the content and form of training, while ignoring the training needs analysis and evaluation. Training needs analysis refers to the collection and analysis of the training needs of enterprises, departments, positions and individuals through various methods (such as questionnaires, interviews, observations, tests, etc.) before training to determine the objectives, objects, contents, methods, time and place of training. Training evaluation refers to the evaluation and analysis of the effectiveness, impact and value of training through various methods (such as feedback, assessment, tracking, comparison, etc.) after training to test the effectiveness of training, improve the quality of training, and enhance the level of training.

Ignoring training needs analysis and assessment may lead to companies choosing inappropriate or unnecessary training consulting services, or failing to judge the effectiveness and value of training consulting services. This will not only waste the time and money of the enterprise, but also reduce the learning motivation and participation of employees, and even cause the resistance or resentment of employees.

Therefore, in the selection and use of training consulting services, enterprises should pay attention to training needs analysis and evaluation, rather than blindly follow the trend or blindly implement. Enterprises should determine reasonable training needs according to their own actual situation and development goals, and work with training consulting agencies to develop training programs that meet the needs. At the same time, enterprises should also establish an effective training evaluation system, and work with training consulting agencies to collect and analyze training data in order to adjust and optimize the training process and results in a timely manner.

误区三：盲目追求流行或者名气

When many enterprises choose and use training consulting services, they are often influenced by the popularity or fame in the market, without considering their own characteristics and needs. For example, some companies will choose some hot or trendy topics, such as leadership, innovation, emotional intelligence, etc., regardless of whether these topics are suitable for their employees or business. Some companies will choose well-known or reputable institutions or faculty, such as Harvard Business School, McKinsey & Company, Kai-Fu Lee, etc., regardless of whether these institutions or faculty understand their industry or culture.

盲目追求流行或者名气，可能导致企业选择了与自身不匹配或者不符合的培训咨询服务，或者无法充分利用培训咨询服务的优势和资源。这样不仅会造成企业的资源浪费或者错配，还会影响员工的学习效果或者满意度，甚至会引起员工的质疑或者抱怨。

Therefore, in the selection and use of training consulting services, enterprises should avoid the blind pursuit of popularity or fame, but according to their own characteristics and needs, choose their own training consulting services. Enterprises should fully understand and compare the training consulting services in the market, and evaluate their advantages and disadvantages and applicability from multiple dimensions (such as professionalism, practicality, innovation, adaptability, etc.). At the same time, enterprises should also conduct full communication and consultation with training consulting institutions, clarify the expectations and responsibilities of both parties, and how to give full play to the advantages and resources of both parties.

Myth 4: Lack of effective communication and cooperation with training consulting institutions

When selecting and using training consulting services, many enterprises often only regard training consulting institutions as external suppliers or implementers, rather than as internal partners or supporters. For example, some enterprises will put forward too high or too low requirements for training consulting institutions, regardless of their capabilities and conditions. Some companies maintain a closed or exclusive attitude towards training consultants and are reluctant to share or accept their information and advice. Some companies will take a passive or passive approach to training advisory bodies rather than actively participating in or supporting their work.

缺乏与培训咨询机构的有效沟通和合作，可能导致企业与培训咨询机构之间产生误解或者冲突，或者无法形成共识或者协同。这样不仅会影响培训咨询服务的质量和效率，还会损害培训咨询服务的信任和关系，甚至会导致培训咨询服务的失败或者终止。

因此，在选择和使用培训咨询服务时，企业应该加强与培训咨询机构的有效沟通和合作，而不是把它们当作一个陌生或者敌对的对象。企业应该与培训咨询机构建立一种平等、开放、诚信、互利的合作关系，并在整个培训过程中保持密切的联系和交流。同时，企业也应该与培训咨询机构共同参与和推进培训项目的规划、实施、评估等各个环节，并给予必要的支持和反馈。
