KnowledgeHouse applies the 'train-the-trainer' concept, which implies that all modules are implemented by the KnowledgeHouse and with the training of internal consultants to support a continuous effective and successful implementation and integration.
Our experience shows that this method can help to increase successful integration in the long run, as employee involvement ensures motivation and a long-term anchoring of the changes that the program is targeting. At the same time this method helps save costs for the company, as it can undertake some of the tasks of implementation and deployment with their in-house staff.
