This paper describes a model by which a high-technology organization can effectively implement professional training and further education of its employees. The model is based on the principles of subsidiarity and horizontal information flows, and the paper describes its main features, its implications for suppliers of training and education, and its relevance to software engineering organizations. The model is assessed against key training criteria developed by the International Board of Standards for Training, Performance and Instruction.
