Seeing articles, webinars, and presentations with this title makes me weary. 
Yes, budget is important and yes, we should be fiscally responsible and good stewards of money.  However, the question of tight budgets for training just doesn’t make much sense to me.  The reason it doesn’t is because I’ve always been a firm believer in answering this question first - “Why are we providing training?”
If the answer to that question is that we are providing training to enhance, improve, or rectify some type of business problem, shouldn’t the budget question really be, “How do I show the benefit of this training in terms of the business problem?” If you answer that question, the answer to the money question should follow.
