One of the hardest functions of training is managing the training intervention as whole and the sessions in particular. Group training is expensive and usually the results are intangible, leaving a lot of work in justifying the return on investment. Conducting awareness sessions should be treated the same and each session should contribute to the overall success of the program or intervention. Managing the intervention requires careful planning and meticulous organizing of the training event followed by selecting the right presenter/ trainer for the job and designing the training material. The last step of follow-up and measuring the success of the individual sessions and the overall program is the crucial step of finding where and money and efforts were actually spent.
