Results

The main outcomes of the STRATEGY-TRAIN project phases are:
  • Cross-cultural analysis: The basis for the development of the learning model and content is an analysis of the needs of small and micro enterprises in all participating countries as far as strategic planning and innovation management practices are concerned.
  • Learning model: A blended learning model combining on site and e-learning components has been set up which transfers the results of the analysis to the context of training.
  • STRATEGY-TRAIN curriculum: A modular curriculum for strategy training and additional instructions for those trainers / coaches delivering the face-to-face training has been formulated.
  • Learning content: Learning materials have been produced, which include different modules so that they can be used as a whole programme or as single components to address specific needs. The final learning content is available online (e-learning) in the six partner languages.
  • Pilot testing of products: The main products including the curriculum, instructions and learning content have been tested in four countries with the assistance of selected SMEs.
