But their usefulness will be diminished if staff are unable to exploit the systems effectively. That’s when mistakes happen, sometimes very costly too. New projects may well make adequate provision for training staff: users, managers and technicians. But a few months down the line, people have changed jobs or left the company. How will their successors learn the systems and who will pay for their training? :twisted:
