How delivery works

Training that starts with the operating reality.

SFI adapts scenarios, examples and action planning to the participants, service environment and regional context rather than relying on a generic presentation alone.

1

Assess

Clarify the service gaps, target group and desired outcomes.

2

Contextualise

Adapt examples, scenarios and tools to the organisation and location.

3

Apply

Use role-play, group work, checklists and action plans to make standards practical.
