01
Six stages with visible decisions
2 · Academic design
Input: the brief. Output: themes, outcomes, city logic and learning rhythm.
3 · Costing
Input: provisional scope. Output: assumptions, inclusions and a proposal—not yet a booking.
4 · Confirmation
Input: approvals and commercial agreement. Output: contracted scope and payment path.
5 · Preparation
Input: participant information and final resources. Output: briefings, contacts and delivery pack.
6 · Delivery and review
Input: confirmed programme. Output: facilitated learning, evidence and a post-programme review.
02
Plan early, confirm carefully
Lead time is a planning range, not a guarantee. Visa requirements, travel dates, academic calendars, group approvals and access to candidate organisations can all affect feasibility.
03
Change control
A final specification records responsibilities, inclusions, exclusions, payment milestones and change rules. Material changes are assessed for learning, cost, safety and availability before approval.
