I'm not quite sure where all this business school speak is coming from exactly, but you seriously need to update your research. You're applying all sorts of arguments to a field in which it's been proven time and again that this sort of logic simply doesn't apply. Read anything by Tom Demarco for a good start. Bottom line in my mind is that if I worked for an employer who didn't see training as a good thing, I'd find a new employer. Sure we can learn quite a bit on our own as developers and should be doing some of that every day, but the occasional formal training course can kickstart our knowledge in ways that messing around with things on our own just can't.
