Guru can exclusively reveal that the CIPD has changed its name to the CILD.
A press release pinged into Guru's inbox revealed a report on the role of training and learning has been launched by the Chartered Institute of Learning and Development.
Guru wonders whether the institute's members have been consulted over the name change? Surely such a a big decision would not have been made without much hand-wringing but the institute's top brass?
Sadly, the truth is likely to be something much duller, nothing more than a simple mistake on the press release. But it does emphasise the value of proofing copy before you publish or send it out - something Gruu nose all to well...
However, it got Yours Truly thinking about what acronym would be best reflect the institute in the future. What about CRUD? Guru has no clue as to what it might stand for but feels it accurately reflects its current standing among the profession.
