That's actually one of the things that I intend to be blogging more about because I think that there's a real gap there. I agree completely that we all need these tools for our own personal and professional development, but I also think that organizations could be supporting the uptake on the tools by embedding them into training processes more. It will be interesting to see how these things continue to evolve.
