This happens in corporate too. Managers approaching the L&D team to get their team or an individual 'fixed'. Professional development training should be individualized, continuous and have the involvement of the line manager.

By all means roll out training to groups, but to put the learning in practice, as appropriate for each individual, needs a lot more work and thought.

I agree. Most of the PDs in corporate context are also done for the optics and social medial "bragging".
