This started as a discussion regarding a business case for replacing a product. You got into a deep philisophical discussion. Do we include the cost of this continuing education in the original business case? NO! You have stretched my original statement out of proportion, and (coincidentally) made a single statement into a (wrong) generallity. Nice thing about snipping -- you can take anything and put it out of context. My original statement was, and still is, education/training for a replacement product, with existing staff, is a one-time charge for the purpose of the business case. Any training, of existing or new staff, after that (on that product) is part of ongoing operations. I never said anything about training, in general, nor about any other products. You cannot include every bit of training in the original business case, or it would be the justification that never ends. Please read, and stop putting words, that I never said, in my mouth. I was talking about a single instance, ie: replacing a product, and you made it sound like I was bashing training, overall. - Too busy driving to stop for gas! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
