Avondale Industries training and development office was asked to develop and implement a training program for its engineers located in its Bengaluru, India site. The program was developed in conjunction with several managers in Bengaluru who needed to improve the flow of their projects, many of which were not delivered on time. The managers felt that project management training would help their engineers develop the skills needed to understand the importance of time management, setting of goals and objectives, and prioritizing their goals to assist in making better use of their time. The training was delivered as requested, but three months later the managers reported they had seen no improvement in meeting project delivery deadlines. Which statement best explains why the training was not effective?

• The engineers relied too heavily on technology to guarantee the success of the training they received.
• The training was not effective because engineers were trained when managers, who oversee project resources and set deadlines, should have been trained.
• Cultural differences were not accounted for when the training and development team organized the training and was thus not effective.
• Effectiveness of the training was poor because it did not ask for the engineers input or engage their interest.
