TRAINING THE INVISIBLE

Abstract

The stock‐in‐trade of trainers, and we include ourselves, are the conceptual models, frameworks and structures we use for teaching, coaching and counselling. The models that trainers use have their equivalents in the architect's scale drawings, the management services systems, the fashion designer's sketches, the engineer's blue‐prints, the copy‐writer's mock‐ups. Manufacturing is fast realising that the better its ability to model what it wants to make, the better its chances of success, For example, the help of technology like computer aided design, has dramatically reduced the cost and time consumed in the design stage.
