Some of these tools I may not be used now, but as our
organisation expands and grows it may reach some of the levels
of organisations. I have seen in the United States of America,
I should hopefully then be able to adopt to these changes easily.
In brief what I have gained within the short s*ay in United
States of America could have taken me several years to have
acquired while occupying my same position at home. I would
therefore recommend the continuation of such a program. However
there are some recommendations I may wish to make.
For future participant I feel the background (i.e. educational
level and work experience) of the participant should be made avail­
able to the supervisor in advance. Apart from that a detailed
background (i.e. the nature of operations, and structure of the
organisation) should also be known in advance by the supervisor,
so that whenever possible the and duration of the course or
program should be tailored to meet the requirement of both the
participant and his organisation. To this end I felt that this
was not initially catered for, but later with some revision we
were able to accommodate this particular need.
As an advice to the participants I should encourage them to
be as inquisitive as possible and ask as many questions as possible.
This apart from making your trainer and hosts aware that you are
interested in learning, make you cover a wider area than actually
scheduled. A lot can be achieved through personal interest.
