The upcoming leaders of tomorrow is GEN Y and they have increased use and familiarity with communications, media, web and digital technologies.To keep up with the ever changing computing world we all must adapt to the new learners of today to inevitably grow our business for tomorrow.

The intensity of competition and pace with which knowledge becomes obsolete is heralding an era where leadership, organisational structure and control systems must increasingly focus on the management of knowledge and skills. Such an environment requires management to systematically design an IT infrastructure that is effectively tailored to the needs of an increasingly mobile knowledge worker and supports organisational learning in areas of strategic concern.

Traditionally, training and development was not viewed as an activity that could help companies create ‘value’ and successfully deal with competitive challenges. Today that view has dramatically changed. Companies that use innovative training and development practices are likely to report better financial performance than their competitors that do not. Training and development also helps a company to meet competitive challenges. As companies attempt to expand into global marketplaces, their success will be determined by employees’ ability to work in a new culture (the global challenge).
