How do you customize training?

During our ini­tial con­ver­sa­tions with you we’ll pose the fol­low­ing questions:

• Tell us about your workflow.
• Tell us about the projects you pro­duce or want to produce.
• What areas of your work­flow do you find frus­trat­ing, inef­fi­cient, or tedious?
• In addi­tion to meet­ing the goals you’ve revealed by your oth­er answers, what indi­ca­tors will mark this train­ing as a suc­cess for you?

Your answers define the edu­ca­tion you receive. Along the way we’ll lis­ten for what you don’t say, too, for the ques­tions you may not know to ask, and the pos­si­ble solu­tions and options you may not be aware are avail­able to you. We will present your options and our rec­om­men­da­tions, and togeth­er you and the instruc­tor or con­sul­tant will final­ize the goals for the engage­ment. This will become the foun­da­tion for the cur­ricu­lum by which your per­son­nel will be trained.

Once on-site the instruc­tion and con­sul­ta­tion will flow flu­id­ly, adapt­ing to any revised or new­ly dis­cov­ered goals or needs. Because of our instruc­tors’ deep exper­tise with the process­es, con­cerns, and tools of a wide vari­ety of design and pub­lish­ing work­flows, they can turn the plan on a dime, adapt­ing it on-site with­out delay or confusion.
