Dear Friend
"Learning & Development" is a science. There are principles, theories and processes. Its knowledge domain falls in Psychology. Human development, Sociology, Organizational Behaviour, Business Administration and Human Resource Management.
It’s not an activity, it’s a strategic intervention.
There is a challenge for you to "drink dip" -acquire the knowledge and then make efforts to build the skills required for an L&D professional.
May pl. read my article which was published in one magazine few years back.

Lot of ideas are being shared. Few methods also. The important thing I found the posting was Training need analysis and Training content development. Dont worry that you are not from a training department. But you need to develop a creative thinking if you have less of that. The best way I feel to analyse the training need is to ask the employees what are the difficulties they face. Some may say it some may not. Then you may even ask them how you handle an irrate customer,since you are in customer relationship center. Training on soft skills, may be a first priority. You need real tools in the form of training contents. Once you identify it even this site has many interesting presentations. You can also get it from Google. since you are experienced from other departments you can help them to draw the parallals and trigger their thinking. If you would like to be an outstanding trainer dont try to teach, but help them learn, by ensuring their participation. For that during training ask their view about the theme on the slides without showing them.Just anchor the session and the summory of that discussion should be the slide you are going to show them. do this for all the slides. Most of the other procedures and clues are there in the postings by others before me.

Hi,
As a beginner starting the process it would be critical to either take skill matrix and gap analysis or competency maps or Training need analysis exercise as the foundation to ascertain the training needs of the organization.

Thank for all the comments, I didn't expect to get this much support! I really appreciate it.
What I would like to mention is the setup in our company is very different to much. I am in no way associated with the HR department. Our company has 4 different division, and I am the only person associated with training in the whole company. It is very difficult do to this.
But, now I have a little fundamentals to start by.

I am somewhat at a loss to understand how you achieved the position of Training Manager when you have little or no knowledge of training.
My advice to you is that you undertake study in Training as soon as possible.
Without proper knowledge you will be doing your company and fellow employees a disservice.
I would suggest that you bring qualified trainers in to train the staff until such time as you can get up to speed.

John,
Thank you for taking the time to write.
I do experience in training, two years to be exact. The reason why they have promoted me as training manager are for these two reasons.
1. They prefer to promote internally.
2. I have a broad knowledge of the department, the process and product.
But, yes you are right. I need to know more about this field.
