Guy, I'm sure that it is financially viable to individualize training in a large corporation, we just don't have the right mind-set. We do have the tools

The military-industrial training model is no longer viable for business training and I'm not sure it is viable in the military either. The new battlefield, which no longer has a front line or clear lines of command and control, requires soldiers who can think and act for themselves. Low intensity, long term warfare is very different from the fast moving mechanized warfare of the past.

Look at how loose-knit organisations that have no real centre (Al Queda and the Taliban) have been able to bog down the most advanced industrial armies in the world. Neither of these enemy forces have centralized, mass training programs, yet they have a strong sense of community. They understand networks.
