ABSTRACT
This chapter reviews the key activities for the trainer in the weeks leading up to the delivery of a training course for international managers, the particular aspects that require the trainer's focus during the course and the actions that need to be taken immediately after the course. It assumes that training needs were identified effectively through the survey and understand stages of the success model and that training materials have been created to meet these needs. Trainers need to be aware of their own cultural norms and how they can differ from those of the client organization for whom they are working. The value of having rehearsed and become really familiar with all of the materials is that the trainer can then spend a large amount of mental energy focusing on the participants and assessing their state of mind at each stage of the programme.
