Thanks for the reply's. We agree that 'CRM' has evolved so much over time, and still is. Whether the C stands for Cockpit, Crew, Company or whatever, the CRM acronym, I think, still forms a barrier with some people who have done an old course and think they know what it's about.

As CRM has much better practical application now with focus on 'Error Management' and 'Decision making', the original concepts of CRM are just a part of that. I find if I am having a conversation with someone on the benfits of this type of Human Factors training, if I use the term CRM without qualifying it to explain that it's NEW CRM, not old CRM, it is confusing and almost counter productive.

Maybe people's concept of CRM training will eventually catch up with its meaning of Error Management, Decision Making, Flight Discipline and Professional Developement Training, but until then it does little to promote the benefits of this trainings latest advancements. As per my original post about people thinking
CRM for single pilots is like doing a multi engine glider rating.
