Training Diagnostic | CTG Academy

A1 · Strategic symptoms

Which challenges is your company facing right now?

Multiple choice. Each of these symptoms typically points to specific skills gaps — we use them to work out your needs.

Key roles are hard to fill New employees take a very long time to become productive Competitors use AI/automation — we are falling behind Systems we have invested in (SAP, Salesforce or similar) are not used to their full potential Productivity and efficiency fall short of expectations Staff turnover is high — employees are leaving the company Managers are strong in their field but unsure when leading people Sales figures or conversion rates are stagnating Change projects meet internal resistance Data-driven decisions fail for lack of analytics skills Compliance or regulatory requirements are growing faster than know-how I currently see no specific bottlenecks

A2 · Status quo

How does your company handle training today?

This answer shows whether you already have a systematic training strategy — or whether potential is being wasted.

Ad hoc and reactive

Training happens unsystematically whenever an urgent need arises.

Off-the-shelf standard seminars

Employees attend external standard courses — with no clear link to strategy or role.

Structured development programme

There are defined learning paths, but the content is not tailored to the company.

Tailored and strategically anchored

Training is a strategic instrument, with company-specific curricula.
