While skills and past experience are great often times they can also help the downside that we try to match current problems to past solutions. For example, a strategy for handling a particular type of problem that may have work in the past may not quite match our current situation. We need to take a fresh look at the current situation and just in time training can be exactly the right solution.Just in time training provides holistic training around the whole problem are just at a time that the individual is going to face those problems. This has a two way advantage. First, it enables the team member to thoroughly consider the possible solutions sets around the problem and second it enables the learner once he or she has taken the training or even while they’re taking the training to apply it immediately. This is the best of both worlds.

On our projects and programs we need to acknowledge the fact that we are in a fast moving world. The chances of us being able to perfectly match skills to job challenges are diminishing with this speed of change. However, taking a “are the best athlete” approach coupled with “just in time learning” we can implement even a better solution to our project human resources needs.
