Train-the-Trainer is intended for companies who want to use their own personnel to facilitate our simulation workshops. This is an excellent option for medium-size to large–size companies that intend to have most of their employees participate in a workshop. Having internal facilitators allows for greater flexibility in scheduling as well as reduced out-of-pocket costs over the life of the program. Our excellent training and certification process thoroughly prepares internal facilitators to effectively support the improvement process outside of the workshops too.
The Train-the-Trainer sessions are held on an in-house basis for 3 to 6 facilitator candidates. First, each candidate must participate in a regular 2-day workshop. Subsequently, they will participate in the 5-day Train-the-Trainer course to master the game’s moves and various workshop roles. Additionally, they will delve into the deeper lessons of the simulation, exploring various strategies and analyzing their often-surprising results. And finally, the course will provide methods for empowering individuals to take decisive action post-workshop, aimed at eliminating defects and fostering sustainable organizational change.
Upon successful completion of the Train-the-Trainer course, facilitator candidates will conduct a 2-day workshop at their own site, with our Facilitator Trainer present to provide coaching and finalize the certification process. Once certified, each facilitator will be equipped to conduct simulation workshops alongside other certified facilitators at their site.
