ABSTRACT

Thursday was the fourth day of training. As always, Daniel was first to the training room. He needed this time to prepare before the training, before the bulk of the participants arrived. The ritual was clearly defined. As always, he would need to spend some time discussing yesterday’s training. He would keep asking himself: “Were the main messages conveyed and key learning assimilated?” Daniel would then say a few words about the day’s training, just like a chef announcing the menu to his guests. “This allegory resounded well in this country well renowned for its cuisine,” Daniel thought. This consisted of laying down the content of the day’s training in his now-well-known, step-by-step structure (Figure 3.1), still with the tantalizing touch of a chef.
