Certified Professional in Learning and Performance (CPLP) Practice Exam

The greatest concern of the FBO manager regarding a professor's consulting offer is the lack of a needs assessment or clarity on deliverables. This is crucial because effective consulting and training require a clear understanding of the organization's specific needs and goals. Without a thorough needs assessment, it's difficult to design a program that addresses the unique challenges and objectives of the organization. Clarity on deliverables ensures that both parties have aligned expectations regarding the outcomes of the consulting engagement. This can significantly affect the success of the training and ensure that it meets the desired performance improvements.

Other aspects, such as inexperience, upfront payment requests, or the potential for training not to be tailored, while they may raise questions, do not carry the same weight as the foundational need for a comprehensive needs assessment. A lack of this foundational understanding could lead to irrelevant or ineffective training solutions, resulting in wasted resources and unmet expectations.
