Compare both approaches

The corporate package covers diagnostic pre-work, success criteria, a workbook, a facilitated day and follow-up. Confirm team size, format and follow-up arrangements in the proposal. Public cohorts are separate offers.

An exercise that tests practical use

Give learners an approved source document and ask for a client summary. Check factual accuracy, missing information, tone and the handling of uncertain details. Repeat with a new document after training to see whether the skill transfers. This is an example exercise, not a promised performance improvement.

The right approach

How Montaj approaches the work

We agree the problem, deliverables and responsibilities before the engagement starts.

  1. Prepare

    Agree team needs, suitable data and success criteria.

  2. Practise

    Work through real tasks with a facilitator and a workbook.

  3. Follow through

    Use the agreed follow-up and 30-day plan to review application.

Not necessarily. An independent learner with a clear task may do well with a course. A workshop helps when several people need shared practice and feedback.
