ABSTRACT
The learnings from the training event are implemented by the delegates. Inputs to this activity include the participants' action plans, the participant records kept by the trainer from the course and the learning and training evaluation reviews. The strengthen stage is concerned with supporting the implementation of the learning by the participants when they return from the training. International managers need to be more motivated and self-disciplined than managers working in the same team at a single geographic location. The implementation dashboard gives a read-out on how well the 'strengthen' part of the success process is working. If possible, a session should be held just for the bosses to acquaint themselves with the contents of the course and how it should be followed up. Whether this actually occurs is again a reflection on the level of training commitment of the organization.
