Focus of a train-the-trainer workshop

The TTT workshop is primarily designed to prepare internal multipliers so they can train their own workforce. The aim is to cover not only content-based and functional topics, but also with self-teaching topics and concerns that are relevant as they influence factors that affect acceptance and usage.

  • Culture and positioning
    • "Clearly communicate what the system is meant for and what to do with it"
    • "Connect with cultural change - systemically centralized collaboration across department boundaries"

      • Time-saving
      • Transparency
