Need to make recommendations, produce a plan? Consider a dynamic peer or expert dialogue. Beware the dress code policy training ---not THAT again!
As you consider your strategies, make note of the learning moment needs. Do not burden your learners with what they already know and perform. Engage your learners through skill application and next-level challenges. * More about.
