    • Provide tangible results at a reasonable cost
    • Allow you demonstrate clear and reputable actions to grow the capacity of your KTO
    • Allow you to “outsource” critical training for your staff while ensuring their professional development
    • Expand the collective competencies and your organisation’s active network
