As a prerequisite to doing these one-on-one sessions, the participant will have completed as many of the templates listed below as possible and practical before scheduling the meetings with the instructor. The instructor and the participant will review the completed templates together, and the instructor will challenge/ask more questions to make sure the answers truly addressed the questions. This will give the advantage of an outside peer review vetting the process before socializing documents within your company.
