Keeping training relevant

Someone said that training should be relevant to what we need to do. I can't agree more.

But that same person said that he would be satisfied if the training system is one step behind the current system, although the truth is that it is usually two or three steps behind.

It doesn't make sense.

How can training be relevant, if it is one or more steps behind the current system?

Training must prepare us for the current, so that we are relevant and ready to do our jobs. And it must be forward looking, to prepare us for the future in this fast changing world.

How can something be relevant, if it is always one step behind?
