Before

Managers complete microlessons, resources and quizzes at their own pace.

During

Session time goes on discussion, problem-solving and real-world scenarios.

In-class application
After

Recaps, extra materials and progress tracking reinforce what was covered.

Post-class reinforcement
Always

Feedback and performance data shape the next round of sessions.

Continuous improvement
Learn before the session. Spend the session putting it into practice.
