Course and training activities provide both inspiration and enthusiasm. Nevertheless, the desired behavioural change often fails to appear. Why is this so? – Why are there often “light years” between idea and action?

Learning has been defined as lasting behavioural change. We should therefore focus on what it takes to ensure this change. Obviously, it is possible to enforce behavioural change through sanction systems, but these only work as long as the sanction systems apply, and this method has long since been rejected in favour of the desired behavioural change.

An educational process should contain four phases: Investigation – Inspiration – Implementation – Integration.

In this article, Poul-Erik Almsøe, Vice President of TMI, discusses the phases that will ensure effective training with the desired results.
