Agenda
How will you structure the 昀氀ow of the training event?
You are now ready to integrate all of the components and compose the workshop for your audience over the course of time you
have available. Create two versions of the agenda — a concise one for the participants that you can send in advance with all of
the logistical details (sometimes called a public agenda); and a more detailed one for yourself that provides the instructions and
your notes (sometimes known as a facilitator agenda). Make sure that the agenda you send to participants is “jargon-free” and
describes the process and the purpose, as well as any key preparatory and logistical information. Send the agenda to participants
more than once well in advance, and re-send it a day or two before the training. If the training involves virtual/online segments,
ensure that this information is easily findable on the agenda.
In shaping the agenda, consider the following questions:
What preparation do you want or can you reasonably expect from
participants?
This information needs to be sent to participants with enough lead time to be completed. Be ready, however, to synthesize
the material for those participant — and there are always some — who may not have completed the preparatory work.
