This is just a random selection of headlines from my clippings file. It seems, these days, that just about every magazine concerned with either video or training has at least a news snippet about some well‐known organisation establishing (or expanding) a video training programme. A single article in the Financial Times mentions the National Westminster Bank, British Home Stores, Marks and Spencer, Selfridges, the Electricity Council, the Industrial Society, the British Institute of Management, the Welding Institute, General Motors, Ford, IBM, American Express and the Distributive Industry Training Board — as varied a selection as one could imagine, and all using television and video.
