What to focus on when creating a training road map?

An old team member had posed this question and wanted a 'quickie' response. This is a basic question which almost all training professionals have struggled with and many continue to struggle. Incase you wish to have some more inputs, do write to me, and I'll be glad to offer my assistance. Keep one thing in mind... Don't get on a jehad to find a 'training' solution for every problem. Think like a business operator.

Yenjoie!!!
