The Training Junto

The Training Junto is an online forum established for debating questions of philosophy, strategy, and best practices - and to exchange knowledge of business issues facing the global training marketplace.

The first Junto (a latin derivative of the word "jungere", or "to join") was created by Benjamin Franklin in 1727 for the purpose of bringing friends together to have a structured discussion on political and community topics. (see Wikipedia definition of Junto.)
